Dear Oxy,

We are fed up with Occidental College's failure to address the sexual assault epidemic on campus, and we are not alone.

Thank you for all the posts over the last few months. We’re hoping that changes will be made in the future and that the concerns raised in this project are resolved.

That being said, Dear Oxy will be closing unless the campus needs it again the future. We will not delete the site so it will stay available for viewing, however new posts and anonymous posts will not go up.

To clarify: It's my understanding (and I haven't seen anything different from Oxy) that Carl Botterud has simply recused himself from the case... which makes sense since he was cited in a complaint filed by faculty to Oxy HR. Also, Oxy is going to need someone with more experience to handle the federal complaints and Gloria Allred. How nice of him to say "fuck em" about OSAC in front of 20 witnesses.

Dear Oxy, interesting that Veitch & Co. think that survivors & allies are going to "protest" at graduation. dude, chill, we're not ruining our special day. some people are just not gonna shake your hand until Oxy administrators start taking REAL and PROACTIVE measures to expel rapists, keep them from coming back, protect survivors, and prevent sexual violence. dude.

Dear Oxy: Two more men, this time in the Oxy Weekly, crying "WE FULLY SUPPORT YOU, but just be nicer!!!" We have a right to be furious. Give us our anger- It's way more productive than you think, and we've proven it.

Dear President Veitch: Thanks for getting rid of Carl Botterud. Next up, Dean of Students Barbara Avery! These two have created a toxic environment and they have actively sought to embarrass college by gross incompetence.

Dear Oxy: Time for regime change! Time for a new Dean of Students who doesn't think a 5-page book report is a fitting punishment for rape!!

Dear Oxy Faculty: Thank you for standing with survivors today. We thank you for your courage in standing up to an administration unwilling to change.

Dear Peesident Veitch Ghostwriter: Much, much improved over the typical self-absorbed and self-congratulatory drivel sent out from President. Thank you! Warmly, Not Warmly

Dear Project S.A.F.E., THANK YOU for going above and beyond with your amazing programming for Take Back the Month! Y'all put on great events that were very informative and def brought awareness to our campus about the sexual assault epidemic going on in the U.S. To those who say they don't understand what constitutes sexual assault, battery, and rape, there are plenty of resources and workshops on campus that will help you figure out what they are. Be a great citizen and inform yourselves.

To those against regime change, Clearly the present administration does not want change. Thus, I offer the counterargument that if the administration is replaced by those who truly desire what is best for the school and all its constituents, change will come sooner than with the present indignant administration.
