  Despite a long history of reform efforts, college students remain vulnerable to sexual harassment and assault on campus. This article surveys that history from the 1970s to the present, including a flurry of enforcement activity under President Obama and a backlash and reversed course under Trump. Many of the systems—for example law, education, and public health—designed to ameliorate the epidemic of campus sexual assault have failed to do so. These failures have been particularly pronounced for victims who experience multiple intersecting inequalities. The resulting frustration with legal remedies through campus Title IX processes and the criminal and civil justice system has spurred a new interest in strategies to prevent sexual assault in the first place. Recent political developments, including the #MeToo movement, suggest a potential for democratic political accountability to make progress where legal reform efforts and campus prevention programming have thus far been unsuccessful.

• The War of 1812, September 11th, and the Politics of Compensation

  The Institutional Repository at DePaul University (DePaul University) · 2014-01-01 · 3 citations

  The September 11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) is often described as unprecedented, though it is but the latest in a long line of Federal disaster relief statutes. One such measure established a commission to compensate those who lost property to British attacks in the War of 1812. The history of this relief effort, which is remarkably similar to that of the VCF, reveals a characteristic moral trajectory traced by victims as they seek compensation. The closer victims come to receiving payment for their losses, the harder it is for them to maintain the appearance of blamelessness that is the source of their claim. This paper explores the political and moral issues that arise for both claimants and relief officials from this process.

  Abstract This chapter shows that deference to precedent and the early crystallization of the basic structure of the disaster narrative did not preclude innovation in what counted as a "disaster." Instead, it defined the hurdles that a claimant had to overcome in order to be compensated as others had been in the past. In particular, a successful disaster story had to identify an entity or event that was wholly outside the control of the would-be victim, yet which was causally linked to an outcome intimately affecting his material condition. The chapter traces efforts to expand the role of the disaster relief precedent, beginning with its use to authorize the Freedmen's Bureau in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War through measures such as the effort to secure federal aid to education in the 1880, unemployment relief during the Depression of 1893, and federal farm loans during the first decades of the twentieth century.
