Our intention was to highlight the actions taken by these students in condemning sexual assault. The survivors, organizers, and activists involved in these actions deserved the necessary journalistic depth to accurately capture the complexity of their experiences. Unfortunately, we regret not going far enough in this instance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to honor the truth in all coverage of our valued communities, which is how we&#8217;ve established the longevity we have in reporting on the San Francisco Bay Area.
