Four years after we demanded change, survivors are still being failed by the University
In 2019, Princeton Students for Title IX Reform (PIXR) led a 200 hour long protest that called upon the University to address the culture of sexual misconduct on campus and reform its unethical implementation of Title IX procedures and investigations. In the four years since the protest, the Princeton community has learned that we cannot rely on the University to ensure or provide opportunities for justice, healing, protection, or prevention. The lack of resolution as the protests ended, compounded by the University’s refusal to address the traumatizing and violating nature of Title IX proceedings, reflects its ongoing failure to confront systemic and cultural issues on campus that enable sexual misconduct to occur. We, the members of PIXR, continue to advocate for justice, safety, and healing for survivors of interpersonal violence and a paradigm shift in the campus culture that has brought about these harms.
