Ex-student sues Mason for sexual assault expulsion | Fourth Estate. Forum provides outlet to discuss and end sexual violence | Fourth Estate. Members of the Mason community came together Tuesday evening to take part in the Freedom and Learning Forum, a biannual dialogue series that invited students and faculty to sign a pledge to end sexual violence at Mason. President Cabrera, who moderated the discussion, was recently named to a statewide Task Force on Combating Campus Sexual Violence by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. “It’s our job to make sure everyone is safe,” Cabrera said. “No one should live in fear, especially on a college campus.” The event was part of the university’s commitment to eradicate sexual violence on campus. President Cabrera was joined by featured guest leader Rosemary Trible, founder and president of the non-profit advocacy group Fear 2 Freedom, which helps provide relief and recovery to victims of sexual assault, and by Dr.

Angela Hattery, the director of Mason’s Women and Gender Studies Program. “It is so important for victims to be able to have the opportunity to speak and to seek help,” Trible said. #ProLife group on #Mason Campus. Wouldn't be fun without. Mason Votes. The Democracy Project.
