The town hall was a response to the Feb. 7 sexual assault protest organized by Campus Survivors.

Nearly a month after BU junior Prisha Kumar’s second open letter condemning the University’s treatment of sexual assault was released to the public — after an initial letter written in June — Kumar and the other co-founders of the @campus.surviors Instagram account organized an on-campus protest, demanding a response from the administration.
Two Student Government senators are spearheading an effort to install free menstrual product dispensers in every bathroom of the main College of Arts and Sciences building, with the eventual hope of placing at least one such dispenser in every building on campus.
