In an 2012 op-ed published in Amherst’s student newspaper, former student Angie Epifano wrote about being sexually assaulted and the response she received from the school.
Angie Epifano was a freshman at Amherst College when she says she was raped by another student.
Weekend Edition reached her this week after a Harvard student in a piece for the Harvard Crimson.
That student writes: “I will be moving out of my House next semester, if only — quite literally — to save my life. … My assailant will remain unpunished, and life on this campus will continue its course as if nothing had happened.”
The letter went viral, and Harvard has announced it’s creating a task force to evaluate the school’s sexual assault policy.
