Some Stanford graduates protest during Sunday's commencement ceremony


Stanford officials also defended their commitment to combating sexual violence, saying all incoming undergraduates must receive training on sexual violence prevention. Speaking to reporters penned in at Stanford Stadium, student Allie Koscove recounted how graduation meals have been filled with discussions of the Stanford rape case. “There is this idea that there is just, quote-unquote, one Stanford rapist, that Brock Turner is the Stanford rapist. “The goal is to amplify the voices of survivors on campus,” said Stanford graduating senior Brianne Huntsman, an organizer of the protest. A handful of graduating Stanford seniors waved signs at Sunday’s commencement ceremony showing support for victims of sexual assault and urging the university to do more to protect potential victims.
