The women's studies department posted a statement on its Facebook page that said in part: "Rape threats were posted on a flyer in the Arts and Sciences building specifically targeting [a] women's studies teacher, Dr. Kara Kvaran. These hateful and pornographic flyers included her personal information and home address.... The threat of sexual violence has long been used to exert social control over women who speak out.
