TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual trauma

Over the past several months, it has become increasingly clear that the University of Arkansas does not take the issues of sexual trauma and abuse on campus seriously. Between mass emails that clearly victim blame, hollow commitments to sexual assault awareness, a lack of accountability for fraternities, and most recently awarding a student responsible for rape $20,000 due to "Title IX revisions under the Trump Administration". 

These are all unacceptable actions. The Title IX Office formerly had a student advisory board that would advise and educate them on how to carry out Title IX issues on a campus-wide basis. This board was not renewed for the 2020-2021 school year. This petition is to put pressure on the University of Arkansas and the UARK Title IX Office to reinstate this board so that student's voices are heard thoroughly and properly.
