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.

Description
An account of the resource
This Op/Ed came in response to a poster campaign (posters put up with sexist quotes overheard on campus), the college's official sexual violence reporting numbers, and the designation of a new Task Force on the Status of Women in 2007. In a scathing and sarcastic appraisal of the college's response to sexual assault, Garcia writes that the college culture of sexism and assault hasn't changed much since the DU mannequin incident in 1988. Despite the fact that the college's reports show almost no sexual assault on campus, Garcia discusses their failure to implement the suggestions of past Task Forces on The Status of Women, and the campus culture of degrading women, homophobia, toxic masculinity, and sexual education through pornography. Here is the original print op/ed well as the website version.
NOTE: Related content/context in the FAM collection on both the sexism poster campaign (search "Sexual Harassment is an Issue Op/Ed) and the use of pornography at a Middlebury Common's event (search Pirate Party), both mentioned in this op/ed.
