On March 13, I met with Sharon Smith, associate vice provost for University Life, and Paige Wigginton, director of Special Services at Penn’s Division of Public Safety. This was the latest in a series of meetings stretching back to December 2023, when, having exhausted all paths to resolve a grievance against a student harassing me and my family, I was relegated to Smith’s office. In December, she had promised to help me feel more comfortable on campus in lieu of a proper investigation. On March 13, however, she admonished me for continuing to report ongoing discrimination, harassment, slander, and exclusion from the Department of English. She also offered a solution: a medical leave, sweetened with continued pay. I agreed, because despite putting my trust in Smith and Wigginton, duly reporting ongoing harassment as they had instructed, and attempting to protect myself by declining to work with the people who had slandered me, I was still being labeled as the problem. No on-campus institution — the Title IX office, the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, or the Division of Public Safety — had taken my reports of stalking, discrimination, and retaliation seriously. The retaliation worsened each time I reported a harm.
I started this article wanting to write about Women’s History Month — intending for it to be commemorative and empowering — definitely on a lighter note. I stumbled upon the topic of sexual assault, thinking I could write about Penn’s resources and history with the issue. I was horrified to find a pile of articles and blogs describing rape culture at Penn. I could not believe the extent to which rape had become normalized for people to start referring to it as a culture, almost as casually as you say dating culture. I shouldn’t have to be writing an article like this: asking Penn to stop enabling rape so much as for it to become cultural.
