In case some of you forgot, we ALWAYS believe the survivor

I was sexually harassed and assaulted by my dissertation chair for most of my PhD program. For >2 years, I navigated the labyrinthine Title IX process. This week, my abuser/former mentor was the 2nd prof in 60 years to have tenure revoked. Some things I learned along the way: 🧵

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality provisions have been deployed as secret weapons by both #Democratic and #Republican lawmakers to maintain their grip on power and silence bad behavior. LOV founders Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky reveal how both sides

“Sorry, I didn’t get your email” is what you say when you miss a meeting with your coworker. It’s absolutely no excuse to claim ignorance about sexual assault that took place on your watch. 🔥 Watch Virginia Foxx hold the Asst. Sec. of Bureau of Indian Affairs to account:
