Members of the UA community came together Friday afternoon to protest the university s handling of sexual assault cases and their treatment of survivors.
Roughly 200 students and community members congregated on Old Main lawn while speakers discussed their experiences with sexual assault, before the group marched in a loop around the lawn. Chants of âWe will not be silent!â rang from the group.
Emma Presley, a sixth-year student, and a group of other female students who want to see change at the university organized the event.Â
âI think for concrete change we need there to be change in things that arenât concrete,â Presley said. âI donât know everything in the whole world, but I am open to being informed. Itâs changing the stigma of believing someone.â
