Walter Irvin (third from left), Charles Greenlee, and Samuel Shepherd, stand in a jail after being accused of raping a 17-year-old white girl in Lake County, Florida, in 1949. Since then, Greenlee’s daughter, Carol Greenlee, has petitioned to exonerate her father and the other African American men who were charged alongside him, known as the Groveland Four.
UF biology freshman Kendall Cantrell won’t go back to Midtown. The last time she was there, the 18-year-old was groped by multiple men at Grog House Bar and Grill.
Over lunch, they wrestled.
Last Friday, I observed a sign on the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house that read "ATΩ + ∆∆∆ YOU’RE THE TEN-I-SEE." My first reaction was to scoff and write off the sign as a misplaced joke. But it merits consideration so that we might better understand how Greek life prescribes the interaction between men and women and how our culture inadvertently permits abuse.
In 1968, Hilary Sessions had a baby.
Art Forgey, the spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, goes through a sample sexual assault evidence kit in his office Sept. 16, 2015. ACSO is looking to use DNA from rape kits and other cases to solve cold cases. “Twenty years from now, who knows what we’ll be able to do,” he said.
Organizations that teach sexual-assault safety have seen an increase in student registration for their programs in the Fall term rather than in Spring.
At the beginning of last year’s Fall semester, a series of frightening assaults on young women took place on and off campus. I’m sure everyone who was at UF remembers these assaults; they were all over the news. The university sent out safety notices daily and UPD parked ostensibly empty cars on campus for long periods of time — I’m still not sure how much safety an obviously empty cop car guarantees, but I appreciate the effort.
The topic of public schools has always laid heavily on the hearts and minds of this country’s politically active, conservative, evangelical Christians. Conservative ire over public schools has revolved mostly around our science curriculum. But in the last year or so, these activists have fought for control over how American history is taught, with the disturbing aim of controlling the narrative of American history itself.
Illegal immigration has been a constant talking point of recent election cycles. But what was usually reserved as a single debate question late into the general election has become a front-and-center issue within the GOP primary. From the Great Wall of Trump to the more empathetic Bush, we are seeing the big-tent party hosting many opinions on this single issue.
Last week, I logged onto Facebook after a summer of neglect. I was greeted with a familiar but troubling sight: Someone had posted an article about a scorned boyfriend throwing acid in his girlfriend’s face. While that was the first I had heard of that particular story, I have seen similar stories posted on Facebook many times before. The Texas mother who drowned her children in a pool; the Massachusetts teacher who was murdered by a student; the Tennessee couple who were raped and beaten; all were equally tragic stories that had found their way into my life because of a shared Facebook post.
Taking the war on women to the next step, conservatives are pushing for low-income women to be denied healthcare.
Dear readers, we can all agree that Donald Trump is the worst, right? I don’t ask that question as if it’s a matter of relativity, or in a “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” type of way: Is it not universally accepted that Donald Trump makes Kim Jong-un look like a reasonable human being in comparison? At least Kim acts within the established parameters for how a statesman ought to behave in North Korea (that is to say, like a petulant child). No such boundaries exist for the Trump.

Shauna Healey, a UF student and the creative voice behind the stage name Boyfriend Material, will take the stage for her record-release show Saturday.
It’s easy to forget about that $18 per credit hour that’s funneled to Student Government. But this past year’s executive ticket spent it — almost exactly the way they promised they would in their platform.
It seems a chapter of one of the year’s most grueling stories — one that encompasses journalism, college life and sexual assault — has come to an end.
Gainesville Police arrested a local man Saturday afternoon on a charge of sexual battery after an officer reportedly saw him raping a UF student.
On Feb. 22, 2013, I wore a cream dress that I borrowed from my floormate. On Feb. 22, 2013, I went to a beach-side bar in Daytona. On Feb. 22, 2013, I was sexually assaulted.
