Morehouse College President Addresses Sexual Assault On Campus

The AUC is abuzz this evening as the issue of rape culture on campus has come to the forefront in the last few days.

It all started earlier in the week, as anonymous students plastered the campus with leaflets stating that Morehouse and Spelman protect rapists and naming names of male students who have allegedly raped women on campus.

The whole thing spilled over into a Twitter hashtag, #WeKnowWhatYouDid exposing the names on a national platform and opening an apparently long-overdue dialogue on sexual violence on campus…culminating in someone spray painting the campus chapel.

The college’s interim president, Mr. Harold L. Martin Jr. addressed the trending topic in a speech earlier today, but many Twitter users are focusing on the fact that he seemed a bit more concerned about the spray paint on the bricks than the topic at hand…

Looks like a BIG discussion between all of Spelman and Morehouse needs to take place, at the very least.
