Summary
Sunday night rallies spread across U.S. campuses as students protested sexual violence after rape allegations at Cornell University.
About 100 students gathered outside Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library, while roughly 50 at UC Berkeley marched from Sproul Plaza to California Hall.
Signs at Yale invoked the Cornell accuser’s “Jane Doe” pseudonym and frustration that campus sexual-assault protests remain necessary.
Take Back the Night, a campus anti-violence movement active for decades, organized the joint action under executive director Katie Koestner, who founded its nonprofit in 1999.
