About 32 percent of female undergraduates at Harvard College who responded to a survey earlier this year said they had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact – about the same percentage as five years ago, when it was 31 percent.
"I'm profoundly saddened and disturbed that we find ourselves after five years in essentially the same position that we were before," said Lawrence Bacow, president of Harvard University, during a campus meeting Thursday, October 17, according to The Harvard Crimson.
Hampshire College, retooling itself after a near-death experience several months ago, is getting rid of traditional majors and departments and instead letting students design their own curriculum.
"Hampshire is removing all barriers across fields of study to create a truly transformative liberal arts college: no majors, no departments, no curricular divisions, liberating students to formulate questions that have never been asked before," the college announced in a press release earlier this week.
