The month I committed to attending Boston University, I remember reading an anonymous Facebook post about a BU student whoâd gone to a party with her friends, gotten drunk and was assaulted by a classmate â a man sheâd have to come in contact with for the rest of the semester unless she dropped the class and switched friend groups. She spoke out about her experience but faced backlash from her peers and from the university.
