Under the new proposed Title IX regulations, one of the most disturbing changes is the redefinition of sexual harassment. Previously, sexual harassment was defined as unwelcome...

Everybody bleeds. Half of us bleed monthly. We can’t control it (though we all wish we could), and I’ve yet to meet anyone who enjoys it. But, menstruating on Georgetown’s campus is particularly miserable due to the lack of readily available menstrual products. There a...
