[Wamvan] UBC Sauder rape chant

[Cynthia Khoo]

I'm still keen on emailing alumni to encourage them to tell the school how
they feel /put pressure on the school to take the problem seriously, for
what it's worth...having said that, many of them may have seen it in the
news by now anyway.

I think the key is to do what we can to make sure this doesn't become
another thing where there's a major circus but then nothing really happens
and a lot of buzzwords and weasel words are thrown around then everyone
goes on as they were after things die down. I'm just not sure how to do
that...
