Reporter that is why the Community Group by any means necessary set up this table. They want to draw attention to sexual assaults on campus. An occurrence that happens too often without penalty. We are rallying around survivors who want to come forward. They dont do anything to punish them. They are consistently allowed to either reenter campus or they just dont do anything to them.
