Columbia College Student Council members debated whether to move forward on developing a plan to improve the University's response to sexual assault if No Red Tape declines to work with them, given that the two organizations have not seen eye to eye on which strategies would be most effective.

A year has passed since Columbia expanded the size, staffing, and hours of the Sexual Violence Response offices after continued student activism.

No Red Tape calls for increased sensitivity and support for survivors from marginalized identities at speak-out.

Brandee Blocker, Law '17, said she never expected she would be protesting the way Columbia responded to her reports of sexual assault.
