A Wave of Sexual-assault Cases Kindles Anger on Baylor’s Campus
One by one, women stepped up to a chalkboard at the back of a Baylor University chapel and erased one of the lies they’d been told about rape: that if they’d been drinking, they had it coming; that the guy had a right to expect sex; that if they’d forgotten some details, their account couldn’t be true. Afterward, a male student got up from his seat and scrawled on the empty board: "It’s not your fault." The silent conversation took place in one of four prayer services that graduate students and seminary graduates organized recently to protest how the university has responded to a handful of sexual-assault complaints.
