I never got to read it, but that was the summarization that I received from the Title IX investigator.

They let me know that it had happened, that it was submitted, but they wouldn't be keeping it as actual evidence, which like throw me a bone.

But I felt that even the fact that it had been submitted and that they had read it, I was concerned that that had already clouded their perception of me.

Yes, I do think it's fair.

This region of the country that Western University is in has a high population of members of the LDS church, which I think really does contribute to inherent patriarchy and bias towards men and a hard wall to come up against or high moral scrutiny for women.

Women should be moral, they should be chaste, and their highest calling in life is to have many children and be a good wife.

The perception of Justin is that he was this nice guy, athletic, handsome guy.

He wouldn't need to rape anyone to get some action because he was traditionally handsome and attractive and in shape.

And so just adding this layer and weaponizing the patriarchy and the societal pressure for women that already existed is not lost on me.

The retaliation piece took so long because I kept on telling the Title IX office he is violating the no contact agreement.

And they just wouldn't really do anything about that.

Because at Western University, the Title IX office initiates the paperwork for a lot of things.

They drafted up and made us both sign the no contact agreement.

But if I have a problem with the no contact agreement being breached, I had to go to the Office of the Dean of Students.

for recourse i did not know that nobody told me that i finally was able to get to the right person to tell them this and this was the only formal justice from western university that i ever got which was such a load of bullshit he was put on some sort of probation which basically meant if he did anything again then they would pursue a more formal suspension or expulsion

August was the kickoff for our recruitment season in Greek life.

Recruitment is very much, for sororities anyway, an all hands on deck type of situation because recruitment impacts the chapter for the next four years.

If you have a good year, if you fill your quota, if you get a good pledge class, that's going to bolster your chapters.

So it's a very important time for us.

At Western University, we had a Greek recruitment kickoff barbecue.
