A student who was born female felt perfectly comfortable identifying as a man at Wellesley College — until people said he shouldn’t be class diversity officer because he is now a white male.
According to the News-Gazette in Champaign, administrators claim the longtime professor revealed one student's grade, videotaped students without consent and told students in an email to remind him of their names because he only remembers those he has sex with.
According to the survey, more than 28 percent of female undergraduate students reported that they were touched in a sexual manner or had their clothes removed without consent. About 12 percent said they were forced to receive or perform oral sex, and an additional 14 percent were said they were victims of attempted forced oral sex. Another 6.2 percent of female undergraduate respondents said they experienced attempted non-consensual vaginal penetration.

A vocal instructor at a community college in Washington allegedly asked a female high school student to remove her clothes during lessons, and later masturbated while she played the piano. The woman, who was 17 years old at the time and earning college credit as a high school student, sued the teacher, Kevin Gausepohl, for taking advantage of her sexually.

“The Vagina Monologues has historically overlooked the empowerment of women of color, queer women, and trans* folk, among others—often replicating and perpetuating the same systems of power and privilege that prompted the playwright, Eve Ensler, to write The Vagina Monologues in the first place,” the Facebook page explains. The page goes on to excoriate “mainstream Western feminism” for “the marginalization and erasure of these groups” and the “failure to consider the effects of power structures outside gender within the feminist community.”

The Ivy League school in Connecticut, where tuition costs around $50,000-a-year, came under federal investigation in 2011 after 15 students filed a complaint alleging that the university is a 'hostile sexual environment' and failed to deal with incidents of sexual harassment. Their evidence included a video of alleged Yale fraternity pledges holding a sign that reads 'We love Yale sluts' and chanting 'No Means Yes' on campus.

Two senior Columbia University professors were more interested in human contact than human rights, two former grad students charged in a sex-harassment suit against the university. “They’re hypocrites,” Susan Farley, a scholar in human trafficking, said as she described how her academic prospects declined after she reported that law professor Francis Ssekandi pursued her on a trip to East Timor. His colleague, J. Paul Martin, former head of Columbia’s prestigious Center for the Study of Human Rights, also hit on her, Farley claimed in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit. Farley and former student Laura Williams described Martin as an affable professor until he got them alone in his office.
