My article on The Huffington Post – “Dear Harvard: You’re Not Winning”

Hey, that’s cool.  The Huffington Post featured my article on their “front page” today!

The title is: “Dear Harvard: Your’e Not Winning (This Article Is About Rape, Not Basketball” and it’s effectively a response to “Dear Harvard: You Win” — the shocking op-ed written by an anonymous Harvard undergraduate student earlier this week.  In the earlier op-ed, the student blasts Harvard for their mis-handling of her sexual assault case.  In my response, I reflect on this from my perspective as a Harvard alum and a rape survivor.  Many thanks to those you who have already shared it round – please continue to do so.  I’m hoping that if enough people speak up, we can advocate a change in the policy towards sexual assault at Harvard and other colleges.  At the moment, it’s simply too easy for date rape cases to go ignored and un-pursued at educational institutions.  And the consequences for victims can be devastating.
