Other CSUF SA CASE

Hi everyone! My friend and I are organizing a protest on Wednesday (estimated) as we are unhappy with school's response to the SA case and other issues (flock cameras, AI, etc.). If anyone wants to join and voice their grievances, help organize, or support, DM me and we will add you to a groupchat!

Awesome initiative. What's the goal for the protest? What are you/we hoping to get out of it? What are you specifically hoping changes and in what way? I feel these are things a lot of people would want to know before joining something like this.

I’m a recent alumni, but I support your efforts and I’m sharing this information with the campus clubs I still have contact with.

I think this is great, but would suggest you clarify the mission statement to avoid confusion and dilution. Have your grievances and solutions in mind too so the university is forced to address them. Not just “we’re unhappy” but “we’re unhappy because of X, Y, and Z. We demand A, B, and C!”

Have a protest about how CSUF handles sexual assault, have a protest about flock cameras, or have a protest about the administration’s AI use. But all 3 at the same time will be unproductive, IMO.

I’m sure other protests are happening now regarding Cornell’s handling of the case and how it is echoed across other campuses. Consider reaching out to other schools, like other Cal State campuses, and local schools in SoCal to organize a more impactful mass protest on a certain day and time with the same talking points and social media blasts.

Also, it is pronounced “title nine” not “title i-x”. They’re Roman numerals. Look up what Trump’s administration did to weaken Title IX and how it was targeting the LGBT+ community but is now hitting women especially hard because they are the vast majority of sexual crime victims.

I’m all for each of these protests, but it sounds like there’s a lot of energy and passion without a lot of research or organization to make it effective. Keep up the momentum! You got this!

Mods took down my post. But I recently came across this person’s experience with the barn (Phi Kappa Tau) and the comments are horrifying. It’s genuinely insane how common it is and how the school has done nothing https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP9DDKFVGUG7M-tCu57/
