Carefully analyze how Kavanaugh situation unravels

In last week’s Forum piece, “The Stakes of Brett Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS Nomination,” writer Violet Fearon noted that Democrats’ chances of blocking the nomination were slim. The judge answered all of the questions capably, seemed eminently qualified, and with a Republican voting majority in the Senate, his nomination to the highest judicial body in the land appeared to be a foregone conclusion. That calculus was radically disrupted last week when Christine Blasey Ford, a California college professor, publicly stated that the then-17-year-old Kavanaugh had attempted to rape her at a Maryland house party. By Ford’s account, the future judge locked her in a bedroom, jumped on top of her and tried to take her clothes off, although she was able to escape. The facts surrounding this story are still being established, and new details and developments seem to pop up every day.

Investigating Sexual Violence on Campus

According to a 2015 study on sexual assault on college campuses by The National Sexual Violence Resource Center, more than 90 percent of sexual assault survivors on college campuses do not report their assault. Given recent reports in national newspapers on college assaults and video series like “The Hunting Ground” airing on primetime television, colleges and universities across the country have found themselves in the spotlight. Under mounting public pressure to act, university administrators have worked to address the issue of campus sexual violence in a variety of ways, and Brandeis is no different.
