UConn Administration: Take A Stand Against Rape Culture


UConn Administration: Take A Stand Against Rape Culture
The Issue
"Shenanigans" Season 1-Episode 5 originally aired on November 10th, 2011 and then aired again on January 30, 2012. The video in question trivializes rape and the experiences of survivors, perpetuating a standard of rape culture that allows violence against women to exist. On January 31, 2012 UCTV took the video off their website and they have been in comminucation with the Students Against Rape Culture. The UConn administration and any student organization should in no way support the production or airing of this content. By not making a statement directly addressing the content of the video and acknowledging its issues, the administration and organization are implicitly condoning it.
