Many female students put themselves in situations leading to sexual assult
Advertisements [?]
This is a quote from USC's school paper in relation to the Duke Univ case where student athletes raped a woman in a club.

People at USC are protesting, a petition is being signed, but nothing has ever happened my 5 years here. Student athletes "rape" girls all the time (I have to use quotes because they get off and are never convicted). It happens about once a year or so (that makes it into the paper). That is inexcusable.

Here's the article

Besides the petition, (which is going to be published in the same paper), what else can be done? I'm not huge on womens rights, but I know this is bad. If I cant do anything about it, I can pass it onto the Feminist Majority group at my school.
