She underscores that sexual assault is unacceptable, survivors deserve full support, and yet the issue must be addressed as a public health crisis. From the “gray zones” of consent to the driving role of alcohol abuse, Stotland argues for prevention, nuanced education, and honest dialogue as the only path forward.

The shocking details in a woman’s lawsuit against Cornell University, a fraternity, her sorority, and (most infamously) seven of her fellow students have ricocheted through the nation. By now you have likely heard the broad strokes of the case: “Jane Doe” says she went to Chi Phi fraternity one night, quite intoxicated, and two men had simultaneous sex with her (consent for the encounter is disputed).
