About Us

Dissenting Voices is a student-driven campaign to end campus sexual violence. We are an activist group committed to educating students about their civil right to education free from sexual violence and harassment, while also pushing policy and legislative change at the college level for better administrative enforcement of that same right. Dissenting Voices aims to provide a checks and balance system between the law on the books, the college’s administration of those laws, and survivors on the ground. To that end, we work to educate our fellow students about their rights and empower them to take action for safety and equality on campus; we are committed to bringing students’ voices, experiences, and concerns to the administration in order to implement better, more sustained practices that enforce Title IX, the Jeanne Clery Act, and the Dear Colleague Letter.
