The AUC is abuzz this evening as the issue of rape culture on campus has come to the forefront in the last few days. It all started earlier in the week, as anonymous students plastered the campus with leaflets stating that Morehouse and Spellman protect rapists and naming names of male students who have allegedly raped women on campus. The whole thing spilled over into a Twitter hashtag, #WeKnowWhatYouDid exposing the names on a national platform and opening an apparently long-overdue dialog on sexual violence on campus…culminating in someone spray painting the campus chapel. Signs were planted all over #Morehouse College today accusing some of the male students of raping #Spelman female students. Other signs accused both colleges of covering up the sexual assaults. #Atlanta #Sexualassault #rape #weknowwhatyoudid pic.twitter.com/M4Eg4OfwMy — Atlanta Black Star (@ATLBlackStar) November 9, 2017 The college’s interim president, Mr. Harold L. Martin Jr. addressed the trending topic in a speech earlier today, but many Twitter users are focusing on the fact that he seemed a bit more concerned about the spray paint on the bricks than the topic at hand… Looks like a BIG discussion between all of Spelman and Morehouse needs to take place, at the very least.
