The art wall and respect


Scott McLellan

I would like to offer these two images to the campus community to illustrate a certain climate on campus. k(NO)w and its members worked incredibly hard to put up a wall for College community members to think critically and constructively about sexual respect on campus. I would ask that, as a community, we look at the defacements of k(NO)w’s effort to make campus a more thoughtful and safe place for everyone.

When we say that there is an atmosphere of sexual disrespect, the above is to what we refer. While some would argue that we don’t have a problem here, we do. The images are two small yet critical examples of the degree to which sexual disrespect is ingrained in our community. We can do better and we all deserve better.

Thanks to Nancy Grace, Dean Holmes and Campus Security for responding to this situation in a timely and effective manner.
