USA: When Colombia University responded to the Carry That Weight protests by slapping its participants with an arbitrary $471 fine, student anti-rape activists at Columbia University responded by dumping a mock-cheque written on a mattress in the University Presidents office and read a long letter of protest out loud, including the following statement: Your administration is still punishing students who commit rape and abuse with merely a slap on the wrist, and failing to provide survivors with the protections and support we need. Our goal is and always has been to work with your office to address these critical concerns. However, if you continue to ignore our needs and retaliate against us for speaking out, students on this campus will remain unsafe, and this conflict will continue to escalate.
