** How to find the right school? For some Black families in Pittsburgh, it means choosing between diversity and academic rigor ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
READ ([link removed])

Public schools offer student diversity, but private schools can often provide more resources… at a price. Black Pittsburgh parents trying to choose where to send their kids to school face a unique dilemma, a new report says.

“I think that the Pittsburgh region needs to almost draw a line in the sand and say, ‘This is not good enough. We are not doing right by our children. We are not doing right by our families of color in the city,’” said Esther Mellinger Stief, executive director of the Crossroads Foundation.

** As the Red Zone sunsets on Pittsburgh campuses, here's what we've learned exploring student sexual violence ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
READ ([link removed])

Universities in Pittsburgh are now exiting the Red Zone, or the period of time between August and Thanksgiving break when more than half of sexual assaults among students occur. I’ve been reporting on college sexual violence for months with my colleague Mila Sanina, and today, we’re sharing an overview of what we’ve learned. Through our reporting, we’ve found that the Title IX process can retraumatize survivors while also posing challenges for administrators. Social stigma and campus culture can prevent survivors from coming forward. And current educational programs may not effectively engage men, who can play a key role in sexual violence prevention.

“If I am fully going to immerse myself in university life and university culture, I have to make sure I can do so while feeling safe and feeling like I am not constantly prioritizing my fight-or-flight response at the same level that I’m prioritizing my academics,” one student told us.

Sexual violence on college campuses does not end when the Red Zone is over, and neither will our reporting on this topic. If you are a survivor and would like to share your story with PublicSource, please feel free to contact us at: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])
