class="feature-section"></p> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p><span class="feature-dropcap">O</span>n April 10, 2012, Emily Bartlett received a few text messages from a guy who had left her Grinnell College dorm room about 10 minutes earlier. "If you ever tell anyone God help you," one read.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Bartlett did tell someone: That night she told a confidential advocate on the Iowa campus that the male student had sexually assaulted her. A few days later she went to campus security and filed an official report, but she was unsure whether she wanted to see her alleged attacker punished. She said college administrators suggested she request a mediation session with him, a practice the U.S. Department of Education had explicitly prohibited one year earlier in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160821133918/http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/dear_colleague_sexual_violence.pdf" target="_hplink">a letter</a> to all colleges.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>The male student "took responsibility for what he did and regretted it" during the mediation, according to a school document shared with The Huffington Post. But the mediation proved to be a failure, Bartlett said, because it retraumatized her and didn't bring a resolution to their case. She moved forward with a hearing process. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Despite what Bartlett considered a confession made during the mediation, text message evidence and photos of deep bruising on her body, the college hearing found the accused not responsible for sexual misconduct. He was instead deemed responsible for "disorderly conduct" and "psychological harm" and punished with a year of probation. Campus officials issued the two students a no-contact order. The accused would still be allowed to play baseball and take the same courses as her. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"The no-contact order was a joke," Bartlett said. "I had a class with him through all of this."</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>On paper, Grinnell was doing everything right: It received praise for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160821133918/http://chronicle.com/article/How-Yes-Means-Yes-Already/149055/" target="_hplink">putting an affirmative consent standard</a> in place in 2012, and its <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160821133918/http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/sex-offense-statistics-show-us-college-reports-are-rising/2014/07/01/982ecf32-0137-11e4-b8ff-89afd3fad6bd_story.html" target="_hplink">annual stats for sex offenses</a> were among the highest per capita for colleges -- suggesting students there were comfortable coming forward to report their assaults. The school even includes gender-neutral pronouns in its student handbook. There are no rowdy frats or big-time Division I sports stars to blame for rape culture, as has happened elsewhere.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>But in some cases, Grinnell forced students to attend class with men the school acknowledged to have sexually assaulted them. The college made offenders write short apology letters to victims as their punishment. When some women struggled in classes due to stress related to their assaults, they say, the college pushed them off campus. And when students confronted Grinnell over its failings, student magazine editors lost their jobs and administrators told activists they were being intimidating.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>One student, India Vannoy, was placed on academic suspension from the college while her offender was allowed to return to campus. Another woman, a senior who asked to be identified by only her first name, Anna, saw her attacker punished with “conduct probation.” He was also ordered to write an apology letter, but allowed to stay in her classes. He later landed an on-campus job -- as head of student security. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>While these three cases might not represent the way Grinnell has handled the majority of reported sexual assaults, their consequences have driven two victims away from their dream school and caused daily anxiety for the third, who stayed on campus. The women filed a federal complaint against Grinnell in February due to their concerns the college's handling of their cases violated Title IX, the gender equity law requiring colleges to address to sexual misconduct on their campus.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Grinnell, with its relatively progressive policies surrounding consent, a student body that’s buying into rape-prevention efforts and an administration actively working to address sexual violence, may be a bellwether for how difficult it will prove for any college to fully address the needs of assault victims.

"We also take strong action when the terms of a no-contact order are violated. We recognize the tension inherent in meeting the needs of a complainant and a respondent when both co-exist on the campus and -- where possible, based on the facts and circumstances -- separate the parties’ housing and class schedules."</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>But even experts who acknowledge those hurdles criticized Grinnell's approach. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"I have trouble understanding what an institution could call a no-contact order that allows a respondent to regularly come in close proximity and not violate the no-contact order," said John Wesley Lowery, chair of the student affairs of higher education department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has never said that expulsion or suspension is required to remedy a hostile environment.

"No-contact orders can be part of that, but they must be effective at separating the victim and the assailant."</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Seeing her alleged attacker around Grinnell’s campus became too much for Bartlett, who transferred to the University of Missouri in 2013.

Yet like many colleges, it's moving toward a single-investigator model. The school is hiring former Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus to handle future assault cases.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Most of the student victims Voos speaks with don't want to engage in an adjudication process, according to numbers that she tracks. Anna's frustrating experience may provide clues as to why. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>When a hearing panel took up her case in May 2012, they asked her what kind of bra she was wearing the night of the incident, Anna said, and allowed the accused student to directly question her, a practice <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160821133918/http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201104.pdf" target="_hplink">"strongly discouraged"</a> by the Department of Education. Anna said the accused asked her, "Why are you doing this to me? Why couldn't we have just talked about this?" </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>When Anna got to speak, she described explicitly saying "no" and crying during the assault.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"He said he was essentially teaching me about sex and he had a better idea about what I wanted than I did," Anna said. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Anna's offender was found responsible for "disorderly and disruptive behavior," "psychological damage" and "sexual misconduct," according to documents obtained by HuffPost. The school didn't find him guilty of rape -- a criminal term -- but did find him accountable for "nonconsensual penetrative intercourse." Conduct probation would serve as his punishment. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>He also had to write a letter of apology, which the college delivered to Anna in July 2012. In the letter, which is five sentences long, he admits his "actions on the night of February 9th did not meet the definition of effective consent," and says he hopes he will "never commit such a heinous offense ever again." </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>When a student is found responsible in sexual misconduct cases, the college's first consideration as a sanction is always dismissal, said Conner, the dean. Grinnell then works backward from there depending on "mitigating or aggravating factors," she added.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"We do our best for our sense of ethics and appropriateness," Conner said.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Anna stayed on campus, but in September 2014 gave up on trying to get the college to hold her offender accountable for the alleged violations of the no-contact order, or for harassment she reported by his friends. Adding salt to her wounds, he was hired by the college this academic year for a student security job that gave him oversight of campus events, essentially to make sure students are being safe at parties. The college recently said any student still on probation would not be eligible for this position in the future, and he resigned his position as Anna raised concern on campus about his role. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>The accused student in Anna's case told HuffPost he realizes he did violate the school's consent policy at the time, but chalks it up to "mixed signals" and doesn't consider it rape. At the time, Grinnell used an "effective consent" policy that stipulated consent must be "informed, freely and actively given," and could not come from the use of "intimidation, or coercion." The school switched to "affirmative consent" in fall 2012, which states that consent must be given for "each act of sexual activity," and can be withdrawn at any time. </p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>The accused student said he's "pissed" with how Grinnell handled the case as well: The no-contact order meant he could stay in school but couldn't take certain classes, and to avoid violating his probation he had to take routes far out of his way at a time when he was on crutches due to an athletic injury.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>"If the school really thought that I was guilty of this, I shouldn't be here; if my case was as serious as Anna made it out to be, I shouldn't be here right now," he said, adding, "I'm grateful it hasn't changed my views on how I saw rape -- I'm not questioning every single woman that said that it happens to them."</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Vannoy's alleged assailant maintains it was consensual intercourse, and his attorney sent a statement suggesting colleges are elevating regretted sex to sexual misconduct. Bartlett's alleged assailant could not be reached for comment. The accused men are not being named because they have not been charged with a crime in connection with these cases.</p></div> <p><style type="text/css">.articleBody div.feature-section, .entry div.feature-section{width:55%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;} .articleBody span.feature-dropcap, .entry span.feature-dropcap{float:left;font-size:72px;line-height:59px;padding-top:4px;padding-right:8px;padding-left:3px;} div.feature-caption{font-size:90%;margin-top:0px;}</style> </div></p> <p><script id="infogram_0_grinnell_college_conduct_charges" src="//web.archive.org/web/20160821133918js_/http://e.infogr.am/js/embed.js?ppz" type="text/javascript">try{}catch(e){}</script><div style="width:100%;border-top:1px solid #acacac;padding-top:3px;font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;text-align:center;"></div></p> <p><div class="feature-section"></p> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p><span class="feature-dropcap">T</span>he anger may never have become so public had an editor for a student magazine not been fired for running an op-ed by Anna criticizing how the college punishes sexual assault.</p></div> <div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>Frustrated with portrayals in various news outlets of Grinnell as a shining example of a college handling sexual assault responsibly, Anna <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160821133918/http://gumag.net/how-yes-means-yes-doesnt-solve-grinnells-problem/" target="_hplink">wrote an op-ed</a> in October 2014 for the Grinnell Underground Magazine, or GUM.

When administrators would speak about sexual assault, the protesters would show up with red tape over their mouths to symbolize what they felt as their freedom to use the word "rape" being silenced.
