[Uosenateexec] Women in Oregon -- what is our academic responsibility?

[Robert Kyr]

This is extremely important and deeply tragic. It is crucial that we address this in a way that brings about meaningful and sustainable change...and as we have heard repeatedly from our students, this is an academic issue.

And thus, in our discussions, I think that we need to include students--no fewer than 3-5 students for a Senate Exec discussion.
