Thank you very much. I really appreciated hearing both of your testimonies.
Ms. Moore, I'll start with a comment, and I'm curious about your response to it.
I'm 29 and I was on a university campus not that long ago. Maybe things have gotten better or maybe they've gotten worse, but I know that from my perspective, stop light parties were something that happened and weren't just fraternity or sorority things. When I was a student, our resident association organized a stop light party. This is an organization to which students paid mandatory dues that were collected by the administration and distributed. It floored me, but many other people thought that this was normal fun or whatever.
You also mentioned specifically the issue of frosh week activities and the hypersexualization of the university environment that's often associated with frosh week. This is very important to me, because you have students coming for the first time and they're learning what university life is all about, and this is immediately what they're greeted with. It's not some kind of erudite academic experience. It's something completely different.
In some cases there are issues of culture, but these issues that I've mentioned reflect in some cases things that student unions are organizing as officially sanctioned social activities. That's especially true of frosh week. It's not to say that student unions are always the problem. Sometimes they're part of the solution as well in terms of emphasizing education around this issue.
What is the appropriate response from university administrations? I am asking because it seems to me that in some of these cases there needs to be a greater degree of control by the administration in terms of saying to student unions that there are limits to the kinds of activities students unions can organize if they go outside the kind of culture we want to create on our campuses.
