Columbia: Attend Rape Workshops Or No Diploma

Story here. Excerpt:

'Columbia University may be compelling students in the next month to complete a sexual assault education program or else lose the ability to register for classes or even receive their diploma, according to the Columbia Spectator.
...
Students will have a host of options for how to complete the requirement, including attending an hour-long workshop, watching and discussing a series of short films on the matter or even crafting works of art and poetry to engage with the topic. They will be expected to have complied with the school’s demand by March 13, just one month following its announcement.
...
Notably, while participation is expected of all students in Columbia’s undergraduate and graduate programs, students at Barnard College, Columbia’s all-women affiliate, will not be required to take part, suggesting the target of the initiative is actually Columbia’s men.'

I swear if I was ever forced to take a class like this, I would challenge every single falsehood the "professor" said. If I had to do some sort of project for the class, the topic I would choose would either be male victims of sexual assault, or faulty research, and how it results in woozles and hysteria.

I guess mattress girl is to thank for this development.
