Today is Fall Visitors’ Day and there are three banners hanging in prominent locations around campus.

The first pair of banners are hanging on the fences of the tennis courts in the center of campus, which read, “WHITMAN ONLY PUNISHES VICTIMS,” and “IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE THE LAST REPORTED RAPE.” These banners are strikingly visible from the entrance of the library, where an information desk for prospective students and parents is stationed.

The second is a banner hung from the roof of the east face of the science building, which reads, “VISITORS ASK YOUR TOUR GUIDES ABOUT DIVESTMENT.”
