Dear President Michael Kothkoff, I am writing as Director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Women Barbra Streisand Center, home to Survivors + Allies, a student-led survivor advocacy and research initiative. We were deeply concerned to leam of the recent news from Cornell University and are glad to see the reopening of the criminal investigation into the 2024 assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Our thoughts are with the survivor and fellow survivors in the Cornell community. Our first responsibility in writing is not to offer outside prescriptions, but to underscore the students, survivors, and advocates on your own campus as the ones who know Comell best. We understand that Cornell's Presidential Task Force on Campus Sexual Assault, led by Dean Rachel Dunifon and Dean Marla Love, has already done substantial work, including its March 2026 final report responding to the 2025 Comell Survey on Sexual Assault and Related Misconduct. We believe such data-driven, student-informed efforts are a foundation to build on. We would encourage you to listen closely to survivors themselves as next steps are decided. Survivors + Allies' research began in the space between what Title IX promises and what it requires of universities. Survivors + Allies built its own evidence base because those gaps left students' experiences largely undocumented.

Flyer on a deep purple background with a row of orange and pink geometric shapes across the top: clusters of orange circles, a pink four-lobed shape, and a pink four-pointed star. Text reads: "Thinking Gender 2027, Call for Proposals. 'Power and Care in Gendered Migrations.' 37th Annual Graduate Student Research Conference. April 29–30, 2027." Left column: "How are immigrant communities experiencing today's immigration enforcement in gendered ways? From detention and deportation to the everyday care that sustains families living in fear, this conference examines how the state produces gendered precarity, and how communities and engaged researchers respond. We invite graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts to share work that informs theory, shapes policy, and empowers communities. Feminist and queer, cross-disciplinary collaborations are especially welcome." Right column, "Questions to Consider": How does attention to care shift our understanding of immigrant agency and power? What can feminist and queer lenses teach us about resisting immigration enforcement? What does ethical, engaged research with immigrant communities require, and how do scholars care for themselves while doing it? Orange footer: A QR code, followed by "Apply Online: csw.ucla.edu/events/thinkinggender" and "Submission deadline: Sunday, October 25, 2026, 11:59 pm PDT." Under "Who Can Apply?": "Graduate students and post-doctoral scholars from any institution." Logos for UCLA College Social Sciences, the Center for the Study of Women (CSW), and the Barbra Streisand Center.
