The president of the University of Virginia announced a number of changes to its policies concerning alcohol, Greek life and campus security Monday, as outrage continues to grow over a Rolling Stone article reporting a gang rape on campus.
“The behavior depicted [in the article] is not something we will accept as normal, and the actions described by seven men in the story have betrayed us. We have a problem, and we are going to get after it,” said UVA President Teresa Sullivan in a hastily-announced address. Sullivan had been set to appear at the National Press Club on Monday, but announced that she would address school affiliates instead.
