Update the Calarts policy on how rape allegations are handled and how alleged assailants are reprimanded
No student should have to be put through the blatant misogynistic nature of the internal investigation conducted by the institute. CalArts has clearly mishandled the situation and the student in question should have never been made to feel unsafe during her time on campus. It is not sufficient for the institute to impose a one year suspension on the assailant. We petition the institute to:
1) Consider the gross and devastating nature of the assailants actions and appropriately reprimand the assailant accordingly.
2) Hold a town hall meeting for students to address concerns about the current rape policy in a public forum.
3) Update the policy in a way that reflects student concerns.
CalArts does not need to be another Columbia University.

I have been hearing from so many of you who felt silenced by the administration during your own time at the institute. Your experiences are the fuel behind this fight and they prove that the current path is completely broken.

Seeing this momentum grow brings me right back to the anger and heartbreak I felt when I first heard what happened to my friend. We are finally proving that our community refuses to let these experiences be ignored or swept under the rug.

this is pathetic. how are students supposed to feel safe when the school treats it like a joke? FIX IT.
long overdue. calarts needs to get their act together and start protecting the people who actually go there.
listening to these stories is heartbreaking. nobody should have to deal with this while trying to get an education.
about time someone spoke up about this. super disappointed in the school right now.
do better calarts. we are watching.
Change
