In July, the Swarthmore basketball coach was accused of sexual assault. Since then, the administration and the title IX office has handled the situation incredibly poorly. As of now, many of the Swarthmore women basketball players are being forced to make the decision to quit the sport they have dedicated much of our lives to or play under a coach that has caused us great mental and physical distress. Please take the time to read these articles detailing the experiences of both Swarthmore and Vassar players and pass along the message. Please sign this petition and send an email (from this temple) to Swarthmore Administration.
