Demand Justice for Assault Victims at SBU

The Issue

Stony Brook University has had a history of sexual assault allegations surrounding its students and has done the bare minimum to punish the students responsible. SBU has yet to address a growing number of recent allegations or take action in any form. Even worse, SBU Greek life coordinators have done little to nothing to punish students behind these allegations and have prevented students from coming forth with their stories. We need to hold our administrators accountable for enabling these types of behaviors. There has been a blatant double-standard for sororities as compared to fraternities - there have been multiple instances where sororities have been given strikes and suspensions for things like booking rooms incorrectly or doing arts and crafts, while fraternities have been merely suspended or investigated for their incessant hazing, assault of other students, and Title IX allegations against brothers. Help us demand justice by signing this petition. Greek life coordinators need to be held accountable, assign the appropriate consequences or put better people in charge of dealing with sexual assault.
