Throwback Thursdays are our chance to reflect on past events on or near campus and relate them to the present day. Each week, we showcase and analyze an old article from the Daily Bruin archives in an effort to chronicle the campus’ history.

I was not shocked when the allegations of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein first surfaced. While people ordinarily do not speak out about their assault for fear of victim blaming, the publicity these allegations have received has emboldened some to share their stories.
