A Westhampton College student filed a sexual assault report with the University of Richmond police on Sept. 21.
It may seem like a contradiction for someone who promotes inclusiveness and tolerance to speak out against honoring Victoria Cobb.
The issue that seems to be getting lost within the current dialogue is not whether Victoria Cobb and the Family Foundation have the right to speak out against LGBTQ people, abortion and an array of other issues — because she ABSOLUTELY DOES. The issue here is that the University of Richmond and the Jepson School should not be awarding a person, however good her intentions may be, and in turn, an organization which fights to oppress an already oppressed and marginalized group.
I still remember one seemingly nonchalant comment made by a male high school friend one day after school when we were all sitting around playing Grand Theft Auto. He was fidgeting with the controller and someone asked what he was doing, to which he responded, "I can't find the rape button anywhere. Is it A or B?"
University of Richmond students shared stories about sexual violence during the annual Take Back the Night event held Tuesday night in the Forum.
The article last week suggesting that Victoria Cobb should be denied her leadership award immediately struck me as wrong on numerous levels. Most obviously, the authors express dripping intolerance for someone they view as intolerant. In case you missed the irony, they, who champion tolerance, refuse to tolerate someone. It's easy to tolerate different views that are tame, or don't affect you, but if you truly value tolerance, the test occurs when a view comes along which really hits you hard.
As proud Richmond students, we are disappointed with our institution's decision to award Jepson's 10th Year Reunion Recognition to Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation Virginia, a group that lobbies against homosexual rights and anti-discrimination legislation.
More than 50 people, many of them University of Richmond students, gathered in front of the Weinstein Jewish Community Center Tuesday afternoon to counter-protest a visit from an anti-gay, anti-Semitic church group.
The rules of manhood dictate that men exhibit no feminine behaviors, earn a sizeable paycheck, remain composed in times of crisis and act aggressively from middle-school age through adulthood.
The Student Alliance for Sexual Diversity reached its goal this week of obtaining 1,000 signatures for a petition to have gender identity and expression included in the University of Richmond's nondiscrimination policy.
Seven panelists from the GLBTQ community participated in the second "Q&A: Queer and Answers" forum Monday night in the Westhampton Center Living Room.
Students came together to break the silence on GLBTQ issues at the University of Richmond by recounting true stories of students, faculty and alumni who questioned their sexuality or lived as members of the GLBTQ community during the Live Homosexual Acts at the Pier Sunday night.
I had never even heard of Robert Crumb before Tuesday, when we tried to find someone to cover the event for The Collegian. In the end, it wasn't covered, but then Tim Patterson submitted his opinion piece. Now, I have done what I can to read up on the subject -- I read all of the submitted opinions and those on the Facebook page, "Protest Crumb at UR."
First of all, I think that being deeply offended by the themes exhibited in Robert Crumb's work is the natural and indeed commendable response that any decent human being should feel when looking at one of Crumb's cartoons. Nobody in their right mind would defend incest or rape. I full-heartedly agree that Crumb's cartoons are incredibly vile and in many cases, deplorable.
The Modlin Center for the Arts' exhibit of Robert Crumb's comics and its sponsorship of his appearance at the Carpenter Theatre on Oct. 27, have stirred a heated debate among faculty and students.
Sunday evening I received a school-wide email attempting to place Robert Crumb in context to a situation in which the university's true goal seems to remove him from his past. The Modlin Center for the Arts does an excellent job bringing in wonderful performing guests from all over the world. But one thing that would be helpful for the future is more information about why some guests are surrounded by controversy.
Fellow members of the UR community:
Timothy Patterson is not a student in my class. I've never met him; I wouldn't know him if he was sitting next to me at a Spider football game. He never spoke to me personally about Robert Crumb or his work, even though, as students who are in my class can confirm, I've been in my office often during the last several weeks and have been very much available to talk about Crumb, and what my class is about (accurate title: American Misfit: Geek Literature and Culture), and why I feel it is important for professors at institutions of higher learning -- including the University of Richmond -- to include Crumb on their syllabus if they so desire. I would have been willing, even eager, to have that conversation with Patterson, but he apparently felt strongly enough to write publicly about the "values this university claims to hold dear," but not strongly enough to meet privately with the professor who assigned the material.
"Every woman has a rape fantasy. Every man, deep down ... hates women."
"Rape and sexual abuse has not stopped so we will not stop either," said Ra-Twoine Fields, the vice president of UR Men for Change, as he thanked everyone for coming to its first forum of the year 6 p.m. Thursday. He then introduced crime prevention officer Randy L. Baran and police officer Tim Meacham.
