Article here. Excerpt:

'Taking Action On Sexual Assault — A Student Perspective” is the title of a two-page document containing various recommendations to help combat the “sexual assault storm” at the University of Virginia.

“It is a problem among us, and a problem we must fix at personal and cultural levels,” the introduction says.

Indeed, the document has three sets of recommendations — nine for UVA’s Board of Visitors, and seven each for administration and students.

One of these (for the BOV) is something you might have come to expect: a requirement to take Women and Gender Studies courses.

"There is much to learn about our culture’s impact on and interaction with women. Assuring that each student engages with these ideas is an enabler of cultural change. The BOV can: budget increased support for the program, direct schools to create requirement."
...
But what is most … frightening is the call for closed criminal trials in rape cases:

"One hurdle to pursuing criminal resolution may be the painstaking public nature of trials. Introducing privacy could make that path more attractive. The BOV can: advocate publicly to Richmond."'

So, it's not enough that the fiction of gender studies and sociology is already sledge-hammerred into a bunch of courses where it is irrelevant (i.e. English, Education). Now they want to serve students a shit sandwich in its entirety and force them to pay for it?

Sheesh. This reminds me of Hitler's false flag attack against the Reichstag. Create a fake enemy, and then get everyone to willingly surrender their rights.

Maybe history should be the course that is mandatory, seeing that these pinheads never seem to see the same behaviours of the past being repeated and actually abet them.
