Op/Ed: AU, IFC should examine their role in EI emails
Leaked electronic conversations between members of the unrecognized student organization Epsilon Iota (EI) – which include references to physical and sexual assault, hazing and illegal drug use, as well as misogynistic and homophobic language – have rightfully enraged the AU community. These revelations are outrageous and do not reflect the true character of AU. However, we, as a campus community, cannot be satisfied that all social issues on campus will be eliminated with the extermination of EI. EI does not exist in a vacuum, and I would like to take the opportunity to discuss how the AU community has responded to the controversy and how we can all take simple steps to combat rape culture, misogyny, homophobia and harmful illegal activity within our community moving forward.
