<div style="text-align:left;">Delta Upsilon, 1988</div>
Description
An account of the resource
Middlebury made national news on May 7-8, 1988, when Delta Upsilon hung a “mutilated” female mannequin with "Random Hole" scrawled on it from their balcony. The Women’s Union and other members of the community protested. As a result, DU was suspended for one year by the college. In 1990, single-sex organizations were banned from Middlebury. In the aftermath, a surge of pre-existing student activism resulted in the eventual establishment of Chellis House (the Women’s Resource Center), the major in Women’s Studies, and a student group called Feminist Action at Middlebury (then called The Coalition for Women). After the DU incident, President Olin Robinson appointed the Committee on Attitudes Towards Gender and tasked them with "[developing] recommendations as to how the College community should continue in future years to educate people about attitudes towards gender." The committee's report, published in 1990, marked the college's first "attempt at self-evaluation on these issues."

IHH has also conducted the "Map Project" in 2013 and 2019, where students can submit locations on campus that they've experienced sexual assault or harassment, and IHH plots red dots onto a map of campus, each one representing a student's submission.

Description
An account of the resource
The Sexual and Relationship Respect Committee (SRR) was founded in 2015 by Maddie Orcutt ‘16, Sherielle Crosby ‘16, Katie Preston ‘17, and Michelle Peng ‘15, who were all heavily engaged in It Happens Here. After attending a conference at Amherst College and learning of a similar position, these students worked to pass a bill in our SGA Senate that added the Director of Sexual and Relationship Respect position to Middlebury’s SGA cabinet. This bill was passed in the Spring of 2015 and Maddie Orcutt assumed the first directorship position. Two years later, during the 2017-2018 academic year, SRR became an ad hoc committee, meaning that it included committee members in addition to directors for the first time. The SRR committee represents the sexual and relationship respect concerns of the student body when it comes to matters involving the SGA or administration. Most prominently, SRR has engaged in activism regarding freshman orientation consent education, free access to safe sex supplies and menstutal products, and a Complcity Project in which students were asked to recognize and challenge their complicity in Middlebury’s culture of sexual assault. See the SRR collection to learn more about these SRR projects and many others.

Description
An account of the resource
In December 2017, Liz Dunn ’18 posted a public Facebook post that named several male Middlebury students as perpetrators of various forms of sexual misconduct. The List was also put up in prominent locations around campus. The list grew to over 30 students as people submitted more names to Dunn throughout the day. The men were accused of violations such as “[being] emotionally manipulative,” “sexual harassment,” and “[being a] serial rapist.” The Dean of Faculty and Dean of Students wrote to the entire Middlebury College community; the email acknowledged the post, reviewed resources for people experiencing sexual violence, and linked to the Middlebury Respect for Persons Policy and Anti-Harassment/Discrimination Policy. Within two days, Facebook had removed the post. Referred to as “The List,” a shortened version of Dunn’s title “List of Men to Avoid,” Dunn’s post received press coverage in publications ranging from Babe.net (known for publishing Aziz Ansari’s accuser’s account) and Seven Days. In an interview with Seven Days, Dunn said that they met with a campus judicial officer who requested the names and contact information of the people who had contacted Dunn with reports of sexual misconduct. Dunn refused. After returning from winter break (Dunn posted The List during finals week), the judicial officers informed them that they were facing official college discipline for violating college policy. In the spring, they received their final sanction of official college discipline, a letter that would remain in their file.

After posting The List, Elizabeth Dunn was both publicly and privately targeted by administration and students at Middlebury. Students posted this article in Beyond The Green in support of Dunn, and called for the administration to cease it's course of action for punitive punishment. The article discusses the negative impact that the administration's actions are having on Middlebury's attempts to build a safer community for survivors. There is a link to sign a petition against punitive action for Dunn at the end of the article.

Description
An account of the resource
The DU mannequin incident sparked controversy over the status of women at Middlebury at the end of the 1987-1988. In the aftermath, Middlebury President Olin Robinson appointed a Special Committee on Attitudes towards Gender in the spring of 1988. This committee published a report that marked the college's first "attempt at self-evaluation on these issues." Task forces on the status of women at Middlebury have also authored reports in 1997, 2008, 2009, and 2014 with observations on Middlebury's progress and suggestions for school administration.
