I saw someone post on IG sharing an event UVM is doing on Oct 12th titled “Stand with Survivors”. And while I appreciate seeing UVM hold an event like this I think it’s important to not erase the schools history of rape, especially within frat culture.

I think a lot of current students may not be aware of the 2022 Title IX lawsuit that was filed by survivors against the University for how they mishandled the reporting of their sexual assaults.

I’m wondering what plans exist to ensure these survivors and their experiences aren’t erased, as well as UVM’s past.

“On average, about 66 percent of college-educated talent remains in the state where they completed college.” (strada report)

It’s only 28% in VT -- which is the lowest in the country. NH is second lowest at 37%.
The highest: Texas is 84% and California is 83%.

These are people who go to college in Vermont, and graduate here, then leave the state (for whatever reasons)
