Letter: Despite article's suggestion, GoBus is safe and caring

I was shocked and very disappointed to read the GoBus article in the OU Post on Wednesday.  It was not at all what I was expecting. Very poor choices of words were used throughout the piece. They were misleading, biased, and in some cases, completely untrue. No passenger has EVER been “forced” to do anything. Nor has GoBus or HAPCAP “taken advantage” of any motor carrier regulations.

Hope for Humanity: Rape culture exists whether we notice it or not

“(P)lease drop the ‘rape culture’ label because it’s an ugly label that our campus doesn’t deserve. At the very least, back up the use of this term with some evidence and convince me that our campus is as dangerous as these letters make it out to be,” Ohio Universty Senior Seth Miller asked in a letter published in Monday’s Post. On Wednesday, OU Senior Molly Risola responded, arguing that the events of Homecoming Weekend illustrated campus’ rape culture to her: “Ohio University is known for our community-based and family-like student body, yet … (s)tudents immediately jumped to slut-shaming, survivor-blaming, refusal to take rape accusations seriously.” Although Risola clarifies many aspects of the term “rape culture” about which Miller seems confused, I think there is still more to be said about this letter, as well as the wider misunderstanding of human rights, I feel, it represents.
