Investigate NKU Administrators for Alleged Rape Cover-ups

Investigate NKU Administrators for Alleged Rape Cover-ups

The Issue

Please sign this petition to encourage the Governor of Kentucky (who has already taken action against the University of Louisville for corruption) to take action here, and to investigate what is happening on the campus of Northern Kentucky University.

And here is what is happening:

The Administration at Northern Kentucky University has allegedly attempted to cover up multiple acts of sexual violence, including rape, on their campus.  Now, they are seeking to "gag" the press and an attorney of at least one victim.

Regional press in the Greater Cincinnati area is in the process of exposing these alleged cover-ups, and the NKU Community (faculty, students and off-campus constituents) is outraged at what is being revealed - and by the fact that nothing is being done by the University's Board of Regents. 

For the sake of justice and for the students who were (and remain) victims of sexual violence, the administration at NKU needs to be investigated immediately.

Here are links to multiple local news stories concerning the alleged cover-ups.
