in my bed. in the cardinal gardens housing complex at the university of southern california. i don't know what to do i suppose they know over and over and over again and i stopped after a while because it just didn't mean anything to. say let's was a boyfriend. do you remember anything happen last night and he said we had. said yeah we had said no no and his face goes slack and everything i was so drunk i don't remember the sex all i was just thinking we had sex. and yes i could have been more aware if i had been raised in the environment where i knew about date rape but i didn't and this is something that people on talk about and like i didn't know what to look out for because i didn't think that people were capable capable of doing i didn't think people did that to each other

when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. life is dominated by the fraternities groups of around thirty students shit accommodation on campus. they are identified by the greek make up the fraternities name. they're everywhere and organize endless parties and drinking binges. angelos it is a whistleblower form a fraternity member. despite the risks. i had this maybe this romantic notion of what was happening inside you know it would be you know guys in tweed blazers drinking scotch and debating aristotle and you know things like god or some kind of you know classy like cocktail party by which obviously it wasn't very like nine point of view for attorneys inherently have a big. drinking culture the main goal of

a frat party. to get girls trying to put on more to lower inhibitions all around you know if you're on your friends on bar duty you know help to get the info girl drunk or you know different drinking games will be played on the bar and you know certain brothers were kind of collude to you to get certain targets you know i mean it sounds funny talking about it this way because it's not literal it's all kind of very subconscious. in ninety percent of cases the rapes are committed by an acquaintance. on the east coast in massachusetts david lisak an expert on campus rape. the vast majority of sexual assault on college campuses is being perpetrated by

serial offenders and they're not mistaken this is not a result of miscommunication and it's not caused by alcohol they are using alcohol very often but they're using alcohol as a weapon in order to get their victims in touch speed into the stream the vulnerable and extremely easy to say. on average each one of the serial rapists is responsible for six rapes during their college years so they like all sex offenders they learn how to identify a vulnerable population. so in a university setting for example of vulnerable population very often means the youngest people on campus freshman. and i think people also underestimate the level of terror that when you have somebody who you thought was well he's just a student i know him he's the guy who invited me to this party he's he's one of us right he's it and all of a sudden this guy is acting in a. that is is terrifying. the other thing is oftentimes these cases get

labeled as he said she said and and you can't you can't look at somebody and listen to them and say there's the truth there's a lie. so when you do you investigate and it's never a he said she said trees there are always there are witnesses there you know there are multiple avenues to investigate these cases including some pretty standard forensic evidence. complaints filed by the victims are usually followed by long and poorly conducted investigations. we are two hours from chicago in indiana at. the catholic university with an impeccable reputation and famous for its. fifteen thousand students and up to sixty thousand.

feet. is a really special place and you wouldn't really know unless you're here it's a people tell you about it but you never really realize that that their family and . i are just an awesome awesome place to be there's a big tradition the schools are about. to hear in. two thousand and ten. the rest she began a freshman year at st mary's college opposite no today she went. with a friend. over that way is where all the tailgating happens so on a weekend this whole area would be covered with her. the

school this is basically the only outlet for a lot of girls have were meeting guys. and the guys definitely know that take advantage of. the game lizzie was sexually assaulted in the room. the next day she filed a complaint with the university and tried to get justice. the day after. the morning after. she came to me and told me you know something had happened when she got over snow to dan and for. kind of you know went through the whole story of what had happened how she had already been in contact with. the hospital given her poor. and then at the point that she was talking to me about it was when she was going to meet with the police chief from notre dame and she asked me to go with her

you know to support her while she was making the identification of the players who assaulted her. no investigation was opened yet universities are responsible for crimes committed on campus. notify the university the state police ten days after the events. and life. ever since his daughter's death. once only one thing to know what drove to suicide investigators couldn't reach any conclusions despite evidence of the threats received by the. written statement is clear i was extremely scared next he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me even hard my breasts with both his hands he said to suck in my neck and cry and hard the day after the salt a message from the football player was not only threatening it was down on me that same day on the second at about six twenty meaning where he's asking what happened

she says sorry it's not your business sorry and then he drops in me don't do anything you would regret messing with are in football is a bad idea. because looking at the. surface is communicating on behalf of himself on behalf of the football on behalf of that player who is acting for this moment what's interesting maybe prophetic about this is that become of maybe the truest statement anyone makes in this entire matter that you don't want to mess with this you will regret it it will be. comes down on you and certainly we have felt. on every campus we investigated. we tried to contact no today. quest for an interview. has come up against an institution that defends instead of his daughter. is precious

to universities. three years later the analysis is terrible and things haven't changed. if you're going to be a world class institution notre dame or otherwise you're going to be world class in everything you do including athletics then you ought to have an absolute world class response process disciplinary process the truth finding process around the issue of sexual assault or any other crime that would go on a campus. universities handle complaints a rape and assault at the discretion yet the laws do exist. at the new england school and lawyer and activist wendy murphy is fighting the university's she specifically teaches about those laws right here the title mind started off in this country as an aspect of the civil rights act the best way to get equality to happen

. is to prohibit discrimination against you well what kind of discrimination is most likely to inhibit your ability to learn harassment and violence. an amendment from one hundred seventy two title nine imposes equal access to education for boys and girls to bask. in cases of sexual discrimination a university must act or risk losing federal grants to the cleary act of nine hundred ninety requires universities to declare the number of sexual assaults on campus. sexual salt on college campuses has been an epidemic for a very long time. the numbers that we hear range from one in four one in five one in six students on campus will be the victim of rape or attempted rape during their years in college it's actually a more risky environment for a woman than not going to college in other words you're more likely to be raped in

college than in the real world in my experience the worst schools are the schools that house the most intitled males so it's the ivies the elite schools the d. ones that have the elite athletic programs the schools where the guys are worth the most if the question is what costs us less the guys are going to win every time schools that make money base decisions. are much more common than they would ever admit publicly. do we speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here. reporting from the will talks books to vo ip interviews intriguing stories for you to. introduce arabic to for

a visit or a big. dog called. sweden or finland to brain deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia as they say fly as far as the military calculus is concerned none of what faces humanity the west north and south none of it can be solved by military means or crafts or satellites or nuclear weapons military he's outdate it it should go like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other. there was very interested because the word dropped out of the skull of the roar. of the word shift across a few degrees. of the circle of. the speed but you know just astronomical speeds.

your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford. a different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pins tear jerking poetry keep. really matters. to your facebook you speak. of the strategies they condemn the silence that surrounds the epidemic in april two thousand and eleven the obama administration sent out a notice signed by vice president joe biden to remind the universities to respect the law. school knows about student on student harassment that creates

a hostile environment. is the school to take immediate action to eliminate the harassment and prevent its reoccurrence. despite the government's attempts universities have not reacted to the legal reminders. often turns into hostility to the victims we had to huntsville alabama. has taken refuge she works as a tour guide for. the university contested the events and placed her in a psychiatric hospital it's a simple case of blaming the victim. i think it's not really a rape culture as much as a culture of silence rape is one of those crimes. no one wants to talk about. publishing her story in the campus newspaper she exposed the university's behavior

regarding her rape in one week more than ten thousand read her story on the internet. being raped time to. time to speed ahead with. time becomes. such an excruciating pace every second becomes an hour every minute a year becomes a lifetime on may twenty fifth twenty. dormitory on campus. here with his roommates in the door. and. it is far from a pleasant wake up call. if you. think about. analyzing everything and.

hold retrospective what would you have done differently. and. is a time when paranoid and. no one no one could find me. especially but. the university's reaction revealed that. the powerful get their way. we'd have to go through a behavioral council and like sit down with him and. defend yourself but you don't have any proof and there are no witnesses or physical d.n.a. so it's not really much folk point. and there's a high chance that you know. i. didn't want to be told by the school that i

hadn't been so i think how do you deal with that girl complaining about the son of an alum. gives millions of dollars to the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school or why make actual changes that will put you in the press in a negative light. once again money is the primary motive. the school must be exemplary to maintain revenue and show that it defends american values. values question by jackson katz a sociologist who studies male and female campus relations. i think the media has gotten more and more objectifying of women and actually that the explicit nature of the violence in the sexualized nature of the violence by men

against women has gotten more extreme and it's not about imitation it's not about young people or older people watching media or playing a video game or listening to music and then going out and imitating what they've seen that's a that's a really narrow and simplistic way of understanding the effects of media effects of media are much deeper and more long term than that and they have to do with establishing norms so lots of boys growing up heterosexual boys growing up are consuming these narratives of manhood where the man is just. completely dominating and sometimes degrading the woman as he's having sex with her and they think that a lot of these guys think that that's normal because that's all they know because that's shaping their psyches in their sexual socialization because if we believe we say we believe in freedom and justice and equality and fairness and where and where men then we have to support feminism we have to support women's efforts to be treated like full human beings and we have to challenge our own sort of power and privilege in that sense it's i mean it's that's that's that's fundamental. however

things have begun to change in the united states in los angeles as survivors association say c. was created by a group of victims to break the silence. the young women have decided to use the law to denounce the university's attitude. led by two professors they filed a complaint for failure to respect title nine of the cleary act. really i hear people yelling fire or easing the legal system to pay for just too many young women and men on their campus who have been actually softer raped frasse battered my name's lee it's a chronic that i'm a survivor from occidental. because of my experience with the administration i graduated early i left the school in december of this last year. and i fear today because i want occidental to be compassionate i wanted to be a place for survivors feel safe and i want to make sure that if there are racists

on campus and when there are great assigned campus that the school is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of all of its students and totally are at the playing three and encouraging this group we're going to do this together. and big girls don't cry danielle. gamba great ones who think i don't mind yes. yes very afraid. gloria allred famous for defending women's rights is the lawyer for the young women she will deny is the press conference to file a complaint against occidental college it's the first time the twenty year old women talk to the national media. early this morning a complaint was filed on behalf of a number of victims with the office of civil rights against occidental college for violating title knowing the complaint documents by a way sions involving thirty seven occidental college students who were allegedly

raped sexually assaulted battered harassed and or retaliated against for speaking out against sexual violence accidental needs to be investigated by the department of education they cannot conduct business as usual while women are being raped we are asking the department of education to take swift and immediate action to force the college to do what they are legally required to do or lose their federal funding. that this point we're going to need to conclude however this is a copy of the not that a logical claim. we wanted to meet with authorities of occidental college. to our surprise they agreed to an interview with the marketing director tricia lange whose explanations remains rather unclear. in the past year we reported for two thousand and eleven under the cleary actually have reported that thirteen

rapes have occurred and we have heard that there are thirty seven people who have filed a complaint against a college we have not seen the complaint nor have we been officially notified that we interesting fun. sorry. we have we have heard that there are thirty thousand students and former students filed a complaint with the office of civil rights. followed by stonewalling. is undergoing a review of its policies and procedures and with that anything that has changed in the last number of years and in the current policy will be over viewed to see that it fits the needs of the students in compliance with the department of education. however we do encourage students and former students cheer for port and to come forward we see it as a positive thing that they're speaking out and that they're helping to address that

issue and still being very concerned about the students who are on this campus today and the students yet to come this way we have caroline hellman and danielle dirk's the professors in charge of the o.s.a. see complaint never believe the official statements. about two years ago it became apparent that the college was actually not going to make real changes but they were going to tell us they were making real changes so we had to shift our strategy and do more research and more kind of public. efforts to get them to change back was formally formed last year when it became very clear that the administration was simply not going to move on this and were some of the original co-founders along with a group of students you know we've been hearing from schools across the nation but it's been school here in los angeles and across california that we've become really close to in terms of you know this national movement helping them file their title

nine complaints filed their clearly complaints and we've talked to people at u.s.c. and we've talked to people kathy on the beach and the schools are just going to keep growing and expanding. occidental college is a liberal arts college with some two thousand students with tuition costing fifty thousand. other updates we want to my graduation plans we meet the survivors as they plan the next steps of their fight for justice against the school and his friends. the from u.s.c. has joined them she learned that defending oneself is possible and that silence could be broken. this experience of getting to know each other and knowing. that this affects so many people. and gives you your humanity back. by doing this now. ten years from now fifteen years from now my children won't have

this happen to them my grandchildren will have this happen to them because we did this now. it's the right time. we had to teach people that slavery was bad and that women could actually vote and it wouldn't destroy the economy we can we can do this so i feel. the movement to break the law goes beyond the victims. we tend to take but it's one of many to raise awareness on campus violence. today the men all the focus of raising awareness and holding a man's mind to stop rape because it's something that affects all of us and is something that is predominantly done by men and i'll manage very small group of men and these are just men i heard timing us that they're really not ok with it and they're so not a pair that they're going to show the ultimate sign of empathy by putting on heels when i was seated think about women's issues as being just for women. actually i

don't think they're kind of civil rights issues which i'm sure if everyone. was like oh this is just. good. because it's very detailed who said yes but it's. fairly talked about even if it does suggest a cultural shift but it's the excuses that people use for us like oh say look i. don't know that person that. needs to be addressed directly. to president i guess the events like this and also the time to check the real it's really can really offers a space for people who have been i. thank. this good hidden by institutions worried about their reputation isn't about today

and not today. nor tomorrow but the victim struggle has come to light and shows the desire for change. in the united states with violence is often too common in the fight has only just begun. my. school district to. see people going to. war. treating everybody.

oh well. my. wife would. think so citing the time. these cases meet. sometimes for nothing. just. just if you see a stage eight. but was. just this. special forces. of these extreme tests. only the most capable.
