The Coalition Against Sexual Violence

The Coalition Against Sexual Violence is a non-registered student organization at MSU whose goal is to combat victim blaming and sexual violence on campus.
The coalition was formed in the fall 2010 semester in response to an alleged rape in Wonders Hall involving two high-profile members of the MSU Spartan basketball team.
In order to get their message across, the coalition does more than just support a rape-free campus.. they actually go out and voice their opinions through actions.
So far, the coalition has held several rallies on campus. The coalition has protested rape and the universities inadequate response to the issue of rape at the Breslin, for Midnight Madness and the first basketball game of the season, at the Izzone Camp-out at Munn Field, the administration building and the Cowles house during the December graduates reception.
The coalition has a list of nine demands, found on their website, that they believe the MSU Administration must meet in order to make MSU a safer place for students.
"We're asking for real results and real policies," coalition member, Ahlam Mohsen said. "We want the administration to know that we're serious."
