New Time Magazine Cover Is A Powerful Statement About Sexual Assault On College Campuses




Time magazine’s newest cover article is an in-depth look at “the sexual assault crisis” on American college campuses.


The issue’s cover — featuring a traditional collegiate pennant branded with “rape” in capital letters — is a stark representation of the prevalence of college sexual assaults.


While the story itself can’t be read online without a Time subscription, there appear to be some disturbing statistics included. In a portion of the article that is available at Time.com, author Eliza Gray notes the “fairly average” sexual assault numbers of one major American college town — at least 80 reported rapes over three years.


Here’s Times’ newest cover, via the magazine’s Twitter:
