The Hunting Ground Page #11

the issue had shot

to the top of the national agenda.

Thank you so much

for coming to my office.

What else do you

think we need to do?

Do you wanna run

through some of those items

on the list that we marked off?

Yeah. Sure, sure, sure.

Yeah, I have my list.

The week before my senior finals,

I was in D.C. talking to senators.

We have seen an inspiring wave

of student-led activism

and a growing number of students

who found the courage

to come forward and report attacks.

We owe all these brave young people

an extraordinary debt of gratitude,

but we cannot stop there.

I still hear stories from survivors

whose experiences reporting to the school

sound exactly like mine.

Activists all around the country

were speaking out on this issue.

Stand up for justice. Don't let

other students go what I went through.

It used to be that

the Department of Education

didn't release names

of who was under investigation,

but after pressure from a lot of student

activists, they've begun to do that.

Fifty-five colleges and universities

facing a Title IX

sexual abuse investigation.

Sixty universities have been put on notice

by the Department of Education.

More than 70 schools

nationwide are now under investigation.

We have over 70

that are currently being investigated.

When they released

that list of schools,

that map of where they pinpointed it

matched our map.

I wanna do a close-up.

Okay.

Welcome to the 2014

spring commencement

at the University of North Carolina

at Chapel Hill.

Here at Notre Dame, we wanna be

not just another Harvard or Oxford,

but a Bethlehem, a Nazareth, a Calvary,

a Cana, the upper room at Pentecost.

You know,

I'm still practicing my faith.

But something I believed in so long

and had so much trust in just failed.

I have to remind myself

that people sin and people aren't good.

And so I just have

to remind myself that.

What do universities owe the future?

We owe the future meaning.

Universities must nurture

the ability to interpret,

to make critical judgments,

to dare to ask

the biggest questions.

What is good? What is just?

You know, I'll see someone

who looks like him on the street,

and I don't want to say

that I'm afraid of him,

but, um, yeah, it's shocking.

It was three years ago,

and it's, um...

it's still right up here.

Your reputation is what you have

when you come into Florida State.

Your character is what you have

when you leave Florida State.

I know that it was the right

thing to do, to come forward.

But Investigator Angulo

was right whenever he said

that I would be driven out

of Tallahassee.

Andrea Lynn Pino.

Yeah, my name's Mike,

and my daughter was raped

at the University of California

Santa Barbara a week and a half ago.

After they were done with her,

they just dumped her.

When she got back from the hospital,

she called the school

and told them that

she wanted to go forward.

From there it has been

an absolute joke.

Nobody up there wants to help us.
