Pro-gun lawmakers across the country are beginning to argue that arming women on college campuses would reduce the frequency of sexual assault.

Cathy Young, the author of the Daily Beast article telling the story of the alleged rape of Emma Sulkowicz's from Paul Nungesser's — the alleged rapist — point of view, is finding inconsistencies in Sulkowicz's story that she believes are "an invitation for people to suspend healthy skepticism" when it comes to charges of sexual assault. Following the piece on Jezebel.com "How to Make an Accused Rapist Look Good," written in an effort to challenge Young's story, Young became more doubtful of some of Sulkowicz's claims.  In one instance, Sulkowicz had told Young that during a visit to the Office of Gender-Based Misconduct, staff had asked her if she had tried to talk about the issue with Nungesser and that taking this to be a suggestion,she "sent him a text message saying she wanted to meet, but then back down realizing she was unable to face him." However, Sulkowicz changed her claim in the Jezebel article, now saying that she had texted him to talk, but "realize[d] that this is a silly thing to do" and did not go through with the meeting.  Young explains that though traumatic events may alter recollections of events, "when someone's story keeps changing in fairly significant ways, it's a potential red flag, and dismissing all such inconsistencies with the stock 'this is typical of rape survivors'" can lead people to not be as skeptical of evidence and claims as they should be.  "The reaction to my Daily Beast story," says Young, "shows just how fanatical and irrational the 'Believe the survivor' mindset of the campus crusade against rape has become."

Penn plans to expand the program so any student can go by a preferred name.

A guide to reporting sexual misconduct at Penn.

Penn men’s basketball started Friday with the announcement that junior captain and leading scorer Tony Hicks was been suspended for the weekend’s games against Harvard and Dartmouth. Matters only became worse from there. The Quakers suffered a 69-46 slaughter at the hands of the four-time defending champion Crimson at Lavietes Pavilion Friday night, as Harvard won its 7th straight contest and Penn coach Jerome Allen recorded his 100th loss at the helm of the program. Wesley Saunders led the way for the Crimson (18-5, 8-1 Ivy) with a game-high 15 points while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, and Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 points to go along with four offensive rebounds. Playing without Hicks, who averages 13.0 points per game, the Quakers (7-15, 2-6) committed just three turnovers in the first half and entered the intermission down, 31-24, in large part due to 14 early second-chance points for the Crimson. The Red and Blue managed to cut the lead down to 31-28 with 17:23 remaining in the second half, but after that point, the tide turned for good.

Well, this is getting pretty familiar. On a snowy Boston night at a sold-out Lavietes Pavillion, the Quakers were handed another humbling loss by Harvard, a 69-46 defeat that emphasized just how far Penn is from the Ancient Eight’s top tier. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Quakers, with each defeat coming by at least 16 points.

The Quakers' 71-61 victory over Harvard was the 68th career win for seniors Kathleen Roche, Kara Bonenberger (who was honored before the game for scoring her 1000th career point earlier this month), Renee Busch and Katy Allen, breaking the record they had previously shared with the senior class of 2003.

Penn students aren't the only ones questioning their school's mental health reforms. After Director of Yale Health Paul Genecin announced in an email that the University would be expanding its mental health services, students were still skeptical of Yale's changes.

Massive open-online courses, or MOOCs, aren't just for Penn. Cornell is set to offer four new MOOCs starting next school year, ranging a variety of subjects. The four MOOCs will focus on shark biodiversity, engineering simulations, debate surrounding Genetically Modified Organisms and the principles of mergers/acquisitions, respectively. None of the courses have official names yet and will be taught by multiple professors, including some guest lectures.  Penn has examined MOOCs itself with some Wharton professors praising the online learning process.  For the full story, check out the Cornell Daily Sun.
