Students at the University of Maryland at College Park may soon pay an extra student fee to help cover the costs of the university's struggling office that investigates sexual assault. The $34 fee, approved by the university’s student government last month and reported by BuzzFeed News Tuesday, was widely criticized, with advocates saying it is highly unusual for students to fund services to combat sexual assault and ensure that their university remains compliant with federal law. But student leaders said this week that they felt they were left with no choice after the university failed to properly fund the office.
