University of Virginia Students: White People Should Not Use Multicultural Centers

A video published by Young America’s Foundation (YAF) on Tuesday shows several University of Virginia (UVA) students sharing the belief that “white people need to be aware of the fact” that certain “spaces” on campus are simply not for them, and that “they need to be cognizant of the space that they’re taking up.” The students’ views fall in line with the viral video of a black student announcing that there were “just too many white people” in the school’s Multicultural Student Center.

Rolling Stone Claims Fault in Discredited UVA Rape Story Was Sensitivity to Alleged Victim

In the blow-up that has followed the Rolling Stone story about “Jackie,” a student at UVA who claimed she had been gang-raped, Rolling Stone managing editor Will Dana allowed that the mistake resulted from “individual failure” and “procedural failure, an institutional failure… Every single person at every level of this thing had opportunities to pull the strings a little harder, to question things a little more deeply, and that was not done.”

Rolling Stone’s Sabrina Erdely Had Ample Opportunity to Get It Right and Blew It

As the reports on Rolling Stone’s journalistic fiasco make clear, author Sabrina Rubin Erdely and Rolling Stone’s editors failed to do the right—and professionally appropriate thing—time after time.
