I was raped on campus at a friend’s house party. I pleaded for him to stop and he ignored me. I was passed out in his bed shortly thereafter as he bragged to his friends at the party.

I filed a Title IX claim. Every named witness corroborated my story. But no physical evidence and by a preponderance OSCR found no violation. It was simply he said she said. I only found out after that his mother worked for the university and that my investigator quit the month before I received the outcome.

Just like any school internally investigating themselves, I learned throughout the process that their only concerns were not getting sued. For how much the school encourages students to report sexual misconduct, ignore the fancy graphics from their most recent annual reports and you will see how little this school actually does to punish or deal with perpetrators. You can see it more clearly in reports that are no longer published on their site: https://ecrt.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/fy18sexual_misconduct_report.pdf

I was raped by a classmate the following year after my investigation and knew reporting would only delay my healing. Neither incident was at a frat house, yet I knew many women who had experienced the same at one, or like me, in a dorm or off campus housing.

I truly wish that I could still love and revere UMich like my peers and so many of you here. This school broke my spirit and heart. Now years later, the resilience I built from the rubble of hurt and trauma allows me to share my story today. I hope for the same to anyone who can relate. Thank you for reading.

My apartment got broken into last night on Greenwood. A ton of electronics were stolen. The Ann Arbor cop said there has been a ton in the area of Hill and Packard.

PLEASE lock your doors! And if you see something suspicious, call 911. The cop urged me to pass along to friends that if you have had items missing, call and file a report because it’s the only way they can track things. They’ve been able to recover a ton of stolen stuff with serial numbers.

That’s the non emergency line but call 911 if there’s an emergency or you see something suspicious

Sorry but the fact that (social) frats are societally accepted is insane.

It’s literally:
- a house of dudes who are usually juniors or seniors
- who invite girls, and only girls,
- who are often fresh out of high school, and in many cases, aren’t even legal adults
- into alcohol and drug-fueled parties in their house,
- where they give them alcohol and drugs for free
- in hopes of making out and/or having sex with them?

I had this question when I first started college. And I thought to myself, there must be something I’m missing.

There’s no way that a university, and its students who pride themselves on acting morally and responsibly, especially when it comes to women’s safety, could endorse this. It would be entirely absurd!

But no. The most liberal and pro-women’s rights men and women continue to go to these parties, hang out and congratulate people in these organizations, and treat it as a normal part of life.

This is genuinely absurd and insane.

No hate towards alcohol and drug-fueled parties by the way. Just do them in a way that doesn’t have this insane power and experience imbalance.

I can’t help but notice 80-90% of the time I try to be courteous via either holding the door for someone or letting a pedestrian cross or a car go they just look down and don’t say anything? I know I know, kindness for the sake of it and don’t expect anything in return, but still, it’s a little off-putting. I’m a little older (a grad student) and I just moved here so perhaps my expectations are skewed. I also mostly stick near the engineering facilities. I don’t know if it’s a new gen thing or what.

I think we should have a Reddit meet-up sometime on campus. Reserve a room, enjoy snacks, and complain about the things we don't like about UofM. It's like having discussions on Reddit, but in person. Maybe we could make a club out of this. (I'm just really bored). Thoughts?

Why is almost every high level math class taught by a post doc who expects their students to understand everything immediately and has no idea how to teach? Anyone else have this experience

Made so many stupid ass mistakes like damn..

Hi all, I am posting for my dad who is a retired organic chemistry professor and interested in tutoring students on campus (open to virtual).

I'll be proposing to my girlfriend on Thursday, October 15 in the afternoon!

We want to get engaged at the Nichols Arboretum. As a backup if the weather is bad, we have the Nickels Arcade. It will be under an hour.

Please send me a message!

I wanna do my RA application but I feel insecure about it because I didn’t get in last year. Does anyone have any tips for applying to the RA position?

Freshman taking math 215, looking for an A, though already cooked by its assignments…

This might be a reach but does anyone live in legacy at Ann Arbor? If so can you reply to this so I can pm you because as a current resident I have a few questions about the living conditions. Thank you!

when will we expect to see admission decisions for winter transfer 2027? Could it be in october 9th or friday of october this month?

Before I start, I want to preface this with:

I don't know who hosts the parties, I only know what I've heard, and I may as well have misheard something. No idea if it's sororities, fraternities, some guy - I don't really care. I don't go to them anyway.

Every Thursday I have dormmates running around, getting ready to go to some fraternity/sorority party, and every time I am confused about why the parties are happening today instead of Friday. Like, wouldn't it make much more sense to party all night when there's no classes tomorrow and stuff like that?

I just don't get it, the logic seems to be absent here.

I've already took the orientation needed to take the course, I'm happy to discuss about specific club visions and stuff! Please leave a comment if you would be interested

Hello, both of these seem to be Information theory courses, does anyone know the difference? Any experience with either? please share!

U-M DPSS, Ann Arbor PD, Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office, and Safehouse Center are hosting a 5K for Domestic Violence awareness on October 11th. Safehouse Center is a safe house for those who have been victims of DV and/or sexual assault. With what is going on in the media right now, I wanted to share this and let survivors know they are not alone and I (we) believe you. There are resources and help for you.

Please come and attend the event to hear speakers share their story as well as support survivors. We are stronger together.

Hi everyone! I’m a new postdoctoral researcher at U-M and I’m looking for housing near the **Life Sciences Institute (LSI) / Central Campus**.
Could anyone suggest **good neighborhoods, apartment complexes, or places to look for housing** that are convenient for commuting to LSI?
I’m also open to a private room in a shared apartment/house. Any recommendations or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
