"title": "Stanford Tops Federal List With 5 Sexual Violence Investigations",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>When the U.S. government released its tally of investigations into sexual violence on college campuses in 2014, Stanford wasn't on the list. But in the new list that's out this month, Stanford has the most cases, with five — and the figure doesn't include the notorious assault that's been making headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crime, committed by former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/06/481010919/california-rape-case-sentence-sparks-outrage\">generated outrage\u003c/a> after a judge sentenced Turner to six months in county jail after he was convicted of three felony counts related to his sexual assault of an unconscious woman on Stanford's campus in January 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turner's sentence has sparked a renewed debate over the role of race and privilege in sentencing; it has also led some to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/06/07/481058634/momentum-grows-to-oust-california-judge-after-rape-sentence-sparks-outrage\">urge a recall of Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky\u003c/a>, whose explanation for the decision to spare Turner from a potential three to 14 years in prison included concern that prison might \"have a severe impact on him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Turner case was handled by the criminal justice system, not by Stanford. But the number of complaints to the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which enforces the Title IX gender equity law, shows that the prestigious university is still facing criticism about how it handles such cases -- criticism that has included both \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/06/05/stanford-student-challenges-universitys-handling-of-sexual-assault-case\">a protest\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2016/04/27/stanford-student-accused-of-sexual-assault-fires-back-at-university-in-federal-lawsuit\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the list of investigations into incidents at Stanford, from the Office of Civil Rights. We'll note that the dates refer to the timing of an OCR complaint, not to the initial allegations of an attack:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case 1: 2/26/2015\u003cbr>\nCase 2: 5/28/2015\u003cbr>\nCase 3: 7/23/2015\u003cbr>\nCase 4: 7/23/2015\u003cbr>\nCase 5: 4/18/2016\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put the number of cases in context: The federal list includes 243 sexual violence cases at 192 postsecondary institutions, as of June 1. Apart from Stanford, two other schools had four cases: Kansas State University and Saint Mary's College of Maryland. Six other schools had three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we sought comment from Stanford about how it accounts for the number of open investigations, Lisa Lapin of the university's communications office said the school \"is fully cooperating with the OCR investigation, which as at other universities will be comprehensive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin added that while the government lists five cases, they reflect four different incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In one of the matters, both the complaining student and the responding student filed concerns with OCR,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin also described the cases in question, omitting details such as names and places:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"One was by a student who felt that although male student she accused was found responsible, his punishment was not severe enough. One complaint was by this same male student who was found responsible and feels that the process was not fair to him.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint was brought by two students who had made complaints against the same male student, who was found responsible in both cases, and their concern is about the process.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint was brought by a student who refused to go forward in the disciplinary process and complains that her concerns were not adequately addressed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint is by a student who was not satisfied with the outcome of her matter in which the student she was accusing was found by the disciplinary panel to not be responsible.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Discussing the timing of the cases, Lapin says, \"All of these cases precede our existing Title IX procedure, and some took place as long ago as 2011. Some were investigated by the Office for Community Standards as well as the [university's] Title IX office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Turner case, Stanford noted this week that it had banned him from its campus within weeks of the attack, \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/2016/06/06/stanford-university-statement-regarding-brock-turner-case/\">saying in a statement Tuesday\u003c/a> that it had also reached out to the victim to inform her of the steps being taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford says it \"did everything within its power to assure that justice was served in this case, including an immediate police investigation and referral to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for a successful prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2kSBVumcLz07ew62gH4ON7mPittrKv1X\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much of the current criticism over the Turner case is now being directed at the judge, Stanford has found itself at the center of another high-profile sexual assault case — continuing a string that goes back at least to 2014, when a female student took the rare step of going public to criticize how the school handled her case, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/06/05/stanford-student-challenges-universitys-handling-of-sexual-assault-case\">the Palo Alto Weekly reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal list of open sexual violence investigations, which is compiled by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/04/29/307958756/campus-sexual-assaults-are-targeted-in-new-white-house-report\">debuted in 2014\u003c/a> as part of an effort to improve the way colleges and universities handle reports of sexual violence. In addition to the list, the government offered guidance and other resources at a new website, called \u003ca href=\"https://www.notalone.gov/\">Not Alone.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the government took that step, Stanford was also taking action: When the first OCR list was published, the school was in the process of hiring its first full-time Title IX coordinator, an expert on preventing sexual misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That coordinator, Catherine Criswell, was a \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/may/title-ix-coordinator-052314.html\">veteran of the federal Office for Civil Rights\u003c/a>. She left Stanford just before the start of the most recent school year, to take up a more senior position at the \u003ca href=\"https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-forges-ahead-efforts-against-sexual-violence-alcohol-abuse\">University of Virginia\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since February, Stanford has been handling sexual assault claims under a pilot program that reflects changes that were recommended by a provost task force. We were curious about how the new investigation and resolution process works. Here's how Lapin described it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Among other things, the process calls for a unified investigation and adjudication system, highly trained hearing panels to decide responsibility and sanction, the ability of parties in a case to receive up to nine hours of paid legal assistance if they wish, and expulsion as the expected sanction for sexual assault cases as defined by university policy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin added that because the program is being run as a pilot, it will be monitored and evaluated for possible further changes. For it to become permanent, she said, the process would need the approval of groups representing both the students and faculty of Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

But in the new list that's out this month, Stanford has the most cases, with five — and the figure doesn't include the notorious assault that's been making headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crime, committed by former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/06/481010919/california-rape-case-sentence-sparks-outrage\">generated outrage\u003c/a> after a judge sentenced Turner to six months in county jail after he was convicted of three felony counts related to his sexual assault of an unconscious woman on Stanford's campus in January 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turner's sentence has sparked a renewed debate over the role of race and privilege in sentencing; it has also led some to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/06/07/481058634/momentum-grows-to-oust-california-judge-after-rape-sentence-sparks-outrage\">urge a recall of Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky\u003c/a>, whose explanation for the decision to spare Turner from a potential three to 14 years in prison included concern that prison might \"have a severe impact on him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Turner case was handled by the criminal justice system, not by Stanford. But the number of complaints to the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which enforces the Title IX gender equity law, shows that the prestigious university is still facing criticism about how it handles such cases -- criticism that has included both \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/06/05/stanford-student-challenges-universitys-handling-of-sexual-assault-case\">a protest\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2016/04/27/stanford-student-accused-of-sexual-assault-fires-back-at-university-in-federal-lawsuit\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the list of investigations into incidents at Stanford, from the Office of Civil Rights. We'll note that the dates refer to the timing of an OCR complaint, not to the initial allegations of an attack:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Apart from Stanford, two other schools had four cases: Kansas State University and Saint Mary's College of Maryland. Six other schools had three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we sought comment from Stanford about how it accounts for the number of open investigations, Lisa Lapin of the university's communications office said the school \"is fully cooperating with the OCR investigation, which as at other universities will be comprehensive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin added that while the government lists five cases, they reflect four different incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In one of the matters, both the complaining student and the responding student filed concerns with OCR,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin also described the cases in question, omitting details such as names and places:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"One was by a student who felt that although male student she accused was found responsible, his punishment was not severe enough. One complaint was by this same male student who was found responsible and feels that the process was not fair to him.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint was brought by two students who had made complaints against the same male student, who was found responsible in both cases, and their concern is about the process.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint was brought by a student who refused to go forward in the disciplinary process and complains that her concerns were not adequately addressed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"One OCR complaint is by a student who was not satisfied with the outcome of her matter in which the student she was accusing was found by the disciplinary panel to not be responsible.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Discussing the timing of the cases, Lapin says, \"All of these cases precede our existing Title IX procedure, and some took place as long ago as 2011. Some were investigated by the Office for Community Standards as well as the [university's] Title IX office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Turner case, Stanford noted this week that it had banned him from its campus within weeks of the attack, \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/2016/06/06/stanford-university-statement-regarding-brock-turner-case/\">saying in a statement Tuesday\u003c/a> that it had also reached out to the victim to inform her of the steps being taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford says it \"did everything within its power to assure that justice was served in this case, including an immediate police investigation and referral to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for a successful prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much of the current criticism over the Turner case is now being directed at the judge, Stanford has found itself at the center of another high-profile sexual assault case — continuing a string that goes back at least to 2014, when a female student took the rare step of going public to criticize how the school handled her case, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/06/05/stanford-student-challenges-universitys-handling-of-sexual-assault-case\">the Palo Alto Weekly reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal list of open sexual violence investigations, which is compiled by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/04/29/307958756/campus-sexual-assaults-are-targeted-in-new-white-house-report\">debuted in 2014\u003c/a> as part of an effort to improve the way colleges and universities handle reports of sexual violence. In addition to the list, the government offered guidance and other resources at a new website, called \u003ca href=\"https://www.notalone.gov/\">Not Alone.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the government took that step, Stanford was also taking action: When the first OCR list was published, the school was in the process of hiring its first full-time Title IX coordinator, an expert on preventing sexual misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That coordinator, Catherine Criswell, was a \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/may/title-ix-coordinator-052314.html\">veteran of the federal Office for Civil Rights\u003c/a>. She left Stanford just before the start of the most recent school year, to take up a more senior position at the \u003ca href=\"https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-forges-ahead-efforts-against-sexual-violence-alcohol-abuse\">University of Virginia\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since February, Stanford has been handling sexual assault claims under a pilot program that reflects changes that were recommended by a provost task force. We were curious about how the new investigation and resolution process works. Here's how Lapin described it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Among other things, the process calls for a unified investigation and adjudication system, highly trained hearing panels to decide responsibility and sanction, the ability of parties in a case to receive up to nine hours of paid legal assistance if they wish, and expulsion as the expected sanction for sexual assault cases as defined by university policy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lapin added that because the program is being run as a pilot, it will be monitored and evaluated for possible further changes. For it to become permanent, she said, the process would need the approval of groups representing both the students and faculty of Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We engage in a rational dialogue in order to rigorously defend Islam.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tariq Malik, who travels a lot for work, speaking up means wearing a sign when he’s at airports.

As part of an elective program the school board adopted in December 2014, a Lowell teacher is leading an ethnic studies class with a curriculum provided by the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ishibashi says requiring students to take the class is another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult because you already have students taking six to seven classes,” Ishibashi says. “And to make another graduation requirement just makes it more difficult for the student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some students who would rather take an advanced placement course, he says. For them, ethnic studies isn’t a priority, and he wouldn’t want to force them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s a priority but for students, you can’t make it their priority,” Ishibashi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10961135\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10961135\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"This is the first year that Lowell High School offered ethnic studies. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the first year that Lowell High School offered ethnic studies. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘We Definitely Need Ethnic Studies’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Lena Truong self-identifies as being in the Asian student majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of her peers are just too busy to care about the way that capitalism, racism and sexism has oppressed people of color in the past.

The lack of support is evident when students fail to understand why a poster is offensive — or exclude people who don’t look like them in group projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why the San Francisco Unified School District is working on infusing culturally relevant content into the basic history curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artnelson Concordia oversees ethnic studies for the district.

As part of an elective program the school board adopted in December 2014, a Lowell teacher is leading an ethnic studies class with a curriculum provided by the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ishibashi says requiring students to take the class is another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult because you already have students taking six to seven classes,” Ishibashi says. “And to make another graduation requirement just makes it more difficult for the student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some students who would rather take an advanced placement course, he says. For them, ethnic studies isn’t a priority, and he wouldn’t want to force them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us it’s a priority but for students, you can’t make it their priority,” Ishibashi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10961135\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10961135\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"This is the first year that Lowell High School offered ethnic studies. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/LowellHighSchoolMainEntranceFromEuclyptausStreet.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the first year that Lowell High School offered ethnic studies. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘We Definitely Need Ethnic Studies’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Lena Truong self-identifies as being in the Asian student majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of her peers are just too busy to care about the way that capitalism, racism and sexism has oppressed people of color in the past.

In fact, the nation's founding document, as originally drafted, never explicitly guarantees the right to vote to anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the mid-Nineteenth Century, most states had dropped property requirements. And with the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, voting rights were granted to all male citizens, 21 and older, regardless of color.

[Those under 18] don't have enough life experience or history and don't know the issues in enough detail.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, opponents argue, the nation's minimum voting age often sets the precedent for other age ceilings. Sexual consent and criminal responsibility age limits, for instance, vary state by state but never exceed 18. If the voting age were lowered to 16, some fear, states could start treating 16-year-olds as adults in matters of consent and criminal prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The slow path to the ballot\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Throughout U.S. history, voting has gradually grown more inclusive, a result of hard-fought political battles waged by disenfranchised populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upon adoption of the U.S. Constitution, voting in most states was reserved for white male property owners. In fact, the nation's founding document, as originally drafted, never explicitly guarantees the right to vote to anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the mid-Nineteenth Century, most states had dropped property requirements. And with the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, voting rights were granted to all male citizens, 21 and older, regardless of color. It took another half-century before the passage of the 19th Amendment, extending the vote to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24280\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 450px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-24280 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full.jpg\" alt=\"Young people in Seattle march in support of lowering the national voting age to 18.\" width=\"450\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full.jpg 450w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full-240x161.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2016/05/Student_march_full-375x252.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young people in Seattle march in support of lowering the national voting age to 18 (1969). \u003ccite>(Post-Intelligencer Collection, Museum of History & Industry )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But it wasn't until 1971 that America lowered its voting age to 18.
