Obama: College campus sexual assault an affront to humanity
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amid a new focus on violence against women, President Barack Obama kicked off a star-powered campaign Friday against campus sexual assault particularly targeted at encouraging men to take a stand.
With an estimated 1 in 5 college women experiencing an attack, Obama decried "the quiet tolerance of sexual assault" and called it "an afront to our basic humanity." Research has shown most victims know their attackers, alcohol or drugs are often involved and only 12 percent of college women report the attack to police.
Jon Hamm of "Mad Men," Kerry Washington of "Scandal" and NBA all-star Kevin Love are some of the familiar faces appearing in a public service announcement along with the president. The "It's On Us" campaign encourages everyone to consider stopping sexual assault their personal responsibility and to intervene when they suspect a woman can't or won't consent.
The Obama administration has been raising awareness
President Barack Obama, with Vice President Joe Biden, left, outlines the "It's On Us" campaign at the White House in Washington on Friday.
of the problem this year, ahead of a midterm election in which Democrats are counting on a strong turnout by female voters. In January, Obama launched the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault that recommended action campuses could take to protect victims. The U.S. Department of Education for the first time publicly exposed the list of colleges under federal investigation for their handling of sexual assault complaints.
The latest effort has a particular focus on reaching men on campus.
"You don't want to be the guy who stops a friend from taking a woman home," Obama said, while arguing it is men's responsibility to do so.
Vice President Joe Biden was even more blunt in his message to men. "Step up!" he said. "Be responsible. Intervene. You have an obligation to make a pariah of those on campus who abuse another person."
Violence against women has taken on a new prominence recently amid controversy over the NFL's handling of domestic assault involving its players. Obama said society,
including sports leagues, too often sends the message that women aren't valued. And with recent sexual assault scandals of their own, the nation's military academies are among the collegiate partners in the campaign, Obama said. The campaign is supported by partners who plan to help spread the message, including the NCAA, several collegiate athletic conferences and media companies with reach among students.
visitors to the Itsonus.org website are asked to turn their social media profile pictures
into the campaign logo badge. They are asked to use their name, email address and zip code to pledge "not to be a bystander to the problem but to be a part of the solution." The information is collected by Generation Progress, the youth arm of the liberal Center for American Progress advocacy organization with close ties to the White House. Other celebrities appearing in the PSA are actresses Connie Britton, Rose Byrne and Mayim Bialik, comedian Joel McHale and musicians Randy Jackson and Questlove.
Picasso among pieces of collection going on public display in Ohio
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio When retail mogul Leslie Wexner peers at one of the Picassos, Dubuffets or Giacomettis in the personal art collection he and his wife Abigail have amassed over the years, he feels a range of emotions that often include gratitude, defeat and exhilaration.
"I find it inspiring in a way — that tangible creativity you find in painting or performance," says the philanthropist and chairman of L Brands, the company behind Victoria's Secret, Limited and Henri Bendel.
Art lovers will get an opportunity to experience their own emotional responses to the Wexners' rarely seen collection beginning Sunday, when 60 of their paintings and sculptures spanning the 19th through 21st centuries go on public display. "Transfigurations" runs through Dec. 31 at the Wexner Center for the Arts, on the campus of Ohio State University.
The exhibit marks the
25th anniversary of the center, named for Wexner's father, and is curated by Robert Storr, a former senior curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art who is now dean of the Yale University School of Art. After acquiring works of mid-20th century New York abstract expressionists, particularly Franz Kline, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, Wexner gravitated toward the many periods of Pablo Picasso, the cubist and surrealist sculptor Alberto Giacometti and the often childlike abstractions of Jean Dubuffet. A dancer of Edgar Degas and several Susan Rothenbergs are also among works on display.
"It was never intended to be a collection," Abigail Wexner says. "Emotional appeal or admiration for the quality of the picture was what we responded to the most." Her husband adds, "It began with, 'I like this drawing.'"
into their own exhibits, says Inge Reist, director of the Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting in New York.
The collections of the Clark Brothers and literary pioneer Gertrude Stein were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2006 and 2012, respectively. The Meyerhoff Collection was displayed at the National Gallery in Washington in 2009. Philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad and the family of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have built new art museums in Los Angeles and Bentonville, Ark., respectively, to house their collections. Picasso expert Elizabeth Cowling says the Wexners' collection will give spectators and scholars a rare opportunity to view many important pieces that haven't been seen publicly in decades, if ever.
With the show, the Wexner Family Collection joins a recent trend from New York to Los Angeles of turning private collections
"It's very exciting to think that these pictures are coming out in the open," says Cowling, a professor emeritus at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She cites Picasso's "Seated Nude Woman" of 1959 and his "Mother and Child on the Shore" of 1902, as examples. Among other rarities on display is "Nude in a Black Armchair", which Picasso painted in 1932. His granddaughter, art historian Diana Widmaier Picasso, says it's one of her personal favorites, depicting her grandmother Marie-Thérèse Walter.
