Students at Brown University are raising questions about an investigation and hearings involving a reported drugging and sexual assault on campus last fall.

Supporters of the two women involved called the investigation “haphazard” and said the university’s hearing process was deeply flawed.

The new program will ask students to attend at least one hourlong workshop of their choosing focused on topics like bystander intervention, according to students who have been briefed on the program. Students may also have the option to watch and discuss two videos -- through TED Talks or on YouTube -- instead, or to write reflection papers about a reading or short film.
