UltraViolet, as well as other gender justice, tech accountability, and pro-democracy organizations, have launched a joint campaign in response.

A national women’s group has started an online petition calling out Dartmouth College as a “chronic offender” of failing to protect female students from sexual assault. The petition, by the group UltraViolet, has nearly 50,000 signatures so far and demands Dartmouth take action.
Karin Roland, the campaign director for UltraViolet, told ThinkProgress that the situation at Dartmouth has reached a boiling point — and it’s now possible to harness that frustration to push for real policy reform.
Along with impassioned students, faculty, and alumni, UltraViolet is standing its ground to finally demand meaningful change. “We’ve only seen lip service from Dartmouth in response to our campaign, but that just isn’t enough. We need actual concrete actions.”
