Advocacy or the survivor community but this article will not have a chilling defect and not define the advocacy community at the university of virginia. how does it differ your opinion when the article first came out and justifying the work you do on campus to what you know now and the reveal provided about the story about the story being false and your opinion about the reflection on the campus? i would say in terms of my opinion about the work and the opinion of one in four and the work we ve been doing has been unwavering. from when the story came out to the redaction and to this report from the columbia journalism review. our commitment is the same and has not changed in the back and forth as to whether or not the report is true. our support is to the survivors and that is true. for the survivors out there that feel they can t come forward, what is your message directly to them? directly to them i would say there are people at this university that want to help you and there ....
