WRC and Involved Students in the Press

Recently, our campus has been abuzz with discussion about the concurrence of Take Back the Night with the BC Barstool Blackout Party. Both events are taking place on Wednesday, March 28th in the middle of C.A.R.E. (Concerned About Rape Education) Week. Staff members of the WRC have started a petition to raise awareness about the rape culture that is perpetuated by comments that are frequently made on the Barstool blog site. Below, I’ve included the article that started it all and the responses to what the students supporting the movement have been up to and if you support the cause, sign our petition!!
