Our Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief attended t Our Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief attended the American Tipoff event in Tampa, where they got the chance to interview new men's basketball head coach Chris Mack about his goals for the upcoming season. 

With new head coaches and new players, both the women's and the men's team look ahead after a successful past couple of seasons.

A recent civil lawsuit was filed against Ivy Leagu A recent civil lawsuit was filed against Ivy League institution Cornell University by a former student, referred to as Jane Doe, who was an undergraduate in 2024 when she went to a party at the Chi Phi fraternity house and was allegedly brutally sexually assaulted by seven members of the chapter while severely intoxicated after being coerced into ingesting multiple hard drugs. 

As a result, many students are holding a mirror to their own college campuses and questioning how universities, and the legal system as a whole, handles instances of sexual violence. 

A timeline (https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/2026/10/06/i-felt-like-bait-timeline-cornell-university-rape-allegations/) provided by The Washington Post details the resulting investigation, including the backlash for both Cornell and the Tompkins County District Attorney’s handling of the case, which many believe to be unjust, as none of the fraternity members were criminally charged and only two were expelled. 

Within the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, there are a number of resources and procedures that exist in response to such cases, such as the Patsy Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act, commonly known as Title IX and USF’s Center for Victim Advocacy and Violence Prevention (CVAVP). 

However, some students say there may not be a complete understanding of the resources they are provided, or how to utilize them.
