Description
An account of the resource
After four male students told the college administration that Bread Loaf Professor Paul Cubeta had sexually harassed and assaulted them, the college held an internal hearing that resulted in no official ruling. Cubeta resigned from his position as director of Bread Loaf, but was granted another position as director of development. The administration did not make any of the information regarding the charges public, despite several editorials the following year from The Campus that addressed the incident, asked for information regarding the charges, and criticized the college's decision to keep them secret while awarding Cubeta another job at the college. The Burlington Free Press also reported that College English professor Robert Hill had approached Dr. Robison (Middlebury's President) in the mid-1970’s and said, “that Cubeta was harassing male students,” yet nothing was done. The Campus published news stories, opinion pieces, letters to the editor, and editorials about this topic.

Description
An account of the resource
This in depth article describes in detail the allegations and testimony of all four students who came forward in the Paul Cubeta hearing with testimony about sexual harassment and assault. It tells the story of their lives, their relationships with Cubeta, their assaults, decisions to testify, and testimony itself. This article lays out Cubeta's personality and career along with his predatory pattern of identifying a vulnerable student, strategically becoming a mentor to them, intoxicating and assaulting them, and manipulating them into denial or secrecy. Furthermore, this article discusses Middlebury's culture of "family" and "secrecy" and the manner in which administrators at Middlebury and Bread Loaf School of English covered and ignored Cubeta's abuse of students, as well as their actions after students reported the abuse.

Description
An account of the resource
Both of these "To the Editor" opinion pieces praise the Campus for what Baran and Zeltvogel see as responsible investigative journalism on the topic of Paul Cubeta. They also both contradict Professor Bakers views as published in the Nov. 17, 1989 issue of The Campus. Zeltvogel believes that The Campus is taking a stand as a source of truth for the students and faculty, rather than being complicit in administrative lies and wrongdoing. Baran believes Mr. Baker has made it clear he cares more for the college's reputation than for the victims of sexual harassment, and Mr. Baker's tactics are the very reason said victims tend to stay silent and repressed. Here is a photo of the article as it was originally printed.

This is The Campus' first news article about the 1988 Paul Cubeta sexual harassment hearing, and the college's subsequent actions. The Campus editors had been investigating rumors of the hearing (which had been over a year prior) throughout the fall of 1989. When the administration refused to speak to The Campus on the matter, The Campus wrote multiple editorials urging them to be transparent with the community. When the administration didn't budge, The Campus published this news story, which was the first time information about Paul Cubeta and the sexual harassment hearing had been publicly divulged. Here is the article from The Campus' archives, as well as photos of the article as it was originally printed (on pages 1, 3, and 5 of The Campus' November 3, 1989 issue).

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.

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.

Feminist Action at Middlebury, commonly referred to as FAM, has existed since the early 90’s when it was called the Coalition for Feminist Consciousness (CFC). After the DU mannequin incident of 1988, there was a surge of feminist activism in which The Coalition for Women/FAM was created. FAM’s mission is to explore and question the construction of gender and gender stereotypes and how they relate to gender-based violence, as well as address and explore a variety of issues relating to various feminisms. FAM continues to be present on campus today and has worked closely with Chellis House since the house opened in 1993. Over the years, FAM has engaged in comprehensive feminist activism on topics ranging from menstrual and reproductive justice, anti-sexual assault activism, and body positivity, to school, local, state, and national politics, and advocacy for trans rights and womxn of color.

This Middlebury Campus op/ed was in response to an article by James O’Brien which criticized a recent gender violence poster campaign. This article discusses the misguided belief that the Middlebury community is aware of issues of harassment and assault and points to the value of creating dialogue about these issues, among other things. This article was co-authored by FAM, Men Against Violence, and Women of Color (WOC).
