PI T T STUDENT RUNS FOR PPS BOARD

SEASON GOING SWIMMINGLY (PAGE 5)

Maggie Young Staff Writer

Between 16 credits at the University of Pittsburgh and 15 hours a week volunteering with children, Ashley Priore manages to fit in a campaign for public office.

Priore, a first-year student studying business and English (who briefly worked for The Pitt News in 2018), is running for a seat on the Pittsburgh Public School Board. She is a Shadyside native who founded a non-profit organization, The Queen’s Gambit Chess Institute, in 2014. The group teaches chess to children in Pittsburgh and helps get them excited about the game.

Priore will run for District 4, which represents Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze and parts of Shadyside and North Oakland. Hoping to streamline communication between elected school board officials and the students they represent, Priore wants to be a voice on the board for students.

“I’ve interacted with a lot of students, and it got to the point where they were telling me about their problems in school. They had so many great ideas, and I said, ‘Well, why don’t you approach your board about it?’” Priore said. “Some of them didn’t even know they had a school board.”

Priore said she wants to make communication between students and their school board more regular. To do so, she plans on creating committees made of students who communicate directly with the school board.

“Whether it’s a finance committee or an outreach committee, have the committee work with the board representatives, and have the committee be filled with students so students could have the opportunity to interact,” she said. “I think constant communication should be available, See Board on page 2

PA. GROUP OFFERS LEGAL HELP TO SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS

Mary Rose O’Donnell Staff Writer

Legal expenses for sexual assault cases can often exceed $10,000, a prohibitively high cost for segments of the population that live paycheck-topaycheck. One group is making it possible for Pennsylvanian survivors of sexual assault to get free legal help — particularly those who couldn’t otherwise afford it.

The Women’s Law Project, or WLP, is a public interest legal center founded in 1974 that advocates for the rights of women and girls in Pennsylvania.

The group recently launched #MeTooPA, a hotline

that provides free and confidential legal assistance for students pre-kindergarten through college and low-wage workers who have experienced sexual harassment.

Brittany Green, the development and administrative coordinator of WLP, said the effort focuses on students and low-wage workers because of the lack of resources that are currently available to these populations. According to some estimates, more than 40 percent of sexual assault victims earn a household income under $25,000 per year, while only 22 percent of the country falls in this income range.

“There’s unfortunately not a lot of resources and

not a lot of lawyers out there that can take on those cases. We’re really trying to fill what we see as a gap in services for those people,” Green said.

She said the goal of this hotline, in addition to providing resources, is to make people feel heard when they call and to help them feel a sense of ownership over which path they decide to take.

“One thing that is true is that the system is not always designed to get justice for victims, so they will look at the facts and tell you what your options are and what you can decide to do,” Green said.

Green said non-legal action is always considered when evaluating a case.

students should be able to see their board representative often.”

Priore said she hasn’t had trouble balancing her schoolwork, volunteering and school board campaign. Because she enjoys everything she’s doing so much, Priore said scheduling tends to work itself out.

Priore previously worked for the Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations and Council Member Erika Strassburger’s office, and with her prior government experience she said it’s interesting entering the arena as a candidate now instead of an intern.

Priore has connected with great mentors and friends through her work with Pittsburgh Public Schools, she said. One such influence is Ashley Comans, a member of the Wilkinsburg School Board since 2017. Comans also serves as the coordinator for Hill Youth Partnership for Enrichment. The group works to keep kids engaged after school and during summer vacation in ac-

Law, pg. 1 “If somebody calls us, we will potentially show you alternatives to just immediately jumping into a lawsuit, which especially for a student, is not always something you want to be jumping right into,” she said. “There are paths that a lawyer can help you navigate that are not just immediately jumping into litigation with your school.”

When someone calls the hotline, they speak with Tammy Patterson, a former victim’s advocate.

Patterson mediates communication between the victim and the legal team. She takes a detailed intake and one of WLP’s attorneys will evaluate the case.

According to Green, the idea for #MeTooPA came from the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter, a worldwide movement addressing the prevalence of sexual harassment in society, particularly after it gained traction in the media. During the height of the movement in 2017, WLP noticed an influx of calls from people who had experienced sexual harassment or assault in schools and the workplace.

This is when the organizers of the project decided to seriously pursue #MeTooPA and looked to outside sources for help with funding.

tivities such as art and computer science camps.

Comans said she’s always been impressed with Priore and how good she is getting kids excited about something. When it came to Priore’s school board campaign, Comans thought Priore should just go for it, emphasizing that she would do well in the role.

“Ashley isn’t hesitant to be around kids who may have had a different upbringing than her, and she is capable of relating to the students, simply off of chess,” Comans said. “I’m a school board director too, so I think what I like about Ashley is she listens. She listens to people, she wants to always find an understanding on whatever a topic or a situation could be.”

Comans was impressed that Priore was interested in running for school board at such a young age. The two bonded over their time spent working with children, but Comans said she hasn’t helped much with Priore’s campaign for school board. But Comans said Priore is suited for the role because of her passion for helping public schools.

Lynda Wrenn, current board president of

PPS, said such drive is necessary when running for the position.

“If you care about your community, you should care about your public schools and help them to be successful. Not only are strong [schools] vital to the success and future prosperity of this city, but we have an important responsibility to the people in our community. We want families to feel good about our schools and want to sent their children there,” Wrenn said in an email.

But Comans said people sometimes run for school board with poor intentions.

“People feel like when you get these titles, it gives you a sense of power,” she said.

“And if you’re not using your role to the benefit of the children, the kids don’t win, and the kids need a win in our school district.”

Comans said Priore is “youth-focused,” which would bring something new to the school board. Kids are often told what they want by the adults making the decisions, Comans said, but Priore’s goal of connect-

ing to kids would help this issue.

“It’s not always best to go with what’s familiar to you rather than what’s best for the task at hand for the position the people have to hold. I think a lot of times, especially in local politics, you’re used to seeing people in certain roles. That’s not always to say that that is what’s best,” Comans said.

While she didn’t go to PPS, Priore said her work with Queen’s Gambit has connected her to kids in the district in a way that gives her an understanding of what she could bring to the board.

Priore said her memory of the school experience is more fresh in her mind than in other officials’. But she feels she’s had enough time since graduating high school to reflect.

“I’ve been able to now say OK, I have those experiences, now I’m going to look at them more critically. What did I like about my experience, what didn’t I like?’” Priore said. “Not thinking negative about it but how can schools continue to improve.”

WLP received a grant from the Heinz Endowments, a regional foundation, in October 2018. According to Carmen Anderson, the director of equity and social justice for the organization, women and children have been a long-standing priority for the endowments, which is what motivated them to

happened and it’s not OK.’ The next step is creating places where people can go for support and obtain legal advice.”

FISA, a charitable grant-making foundation that has partnered with and brought #MeTooPA to the attention of the Heinz Endowments, focuses on

assault on college campuses.

Trautmann said FISA works to build partnerships with organizations that have similar interests to them and help them obtain resources and learn from the work of themselves and others. This was the case with the partnership between FISA and WLP. FISA had been working with high schools and colleges on addressing the issue of sexual harassment and assault on campuses. WLP took lessons from conversations with these students and other advocates, such as maintaining a calm and understanding demeanor when speaking to survivors, and applied it to the development of #MeTooPA. Trautmann said #MeTooPA gives a voice to those victims who may not have otherwise had one due to their financial status.

“I think so many young women and young people, as well as low-wage workers, experiencing sexual harassment feel stuck. They don’t know what to do,” Trautmann said. “#MeTooPA is an invitation to learn more specifically what your rights are.”

GILLETTE COMMERCIAL Hosting Louis C.K. reflects DESERVES ATTENTION, poorly on Pittsburgh THOUGHT from the editorial board

Since April 2017, 263 celebrities, CEOs, politicians and other public figures have been accused of sexual misconduct. This is largely thanks to the powerful #MeToo movement, which created an environment in which many survivors felt safe about speaking out.

But some of those accused have attempted to redeem their public image — including actor and comedian Louis C.K., who played a set of sold-out shows at Pittsburgh’s Improv Comedy Club this past weekend.

C.K. is known for offensive and inflammatory jokes about survivors of the Parkland school shooting, 9/11 and the Holocaust.

The comedian faced accusations of sexual misconduct from five female comedians in November 2017, and the day after a New York Times piece about the women was published, he responded to the accusations saying, “These stories are true.”

A little over a year after that situation unfolded, he’s now on another comedy tour, “Here I Come, Ready or Not,” following a spurt of successes in movies and television.

But C.K.’s presence in Pittsburgh — and the entire tour — was a mistake and an insult to women in comedy and in the audience.

The very title of his tour shows that C.K. is well aware of the controversy surrounding his comedy and the accusations of sexual harassment, and he seems to be using it as a marketing technique. He sells himself as someone who tells the truth through comedy rather than someone who hurts others with his jokes, something his audience apparently admires.

“I feel like I have an idea of who he is, from watching this standup, watching his shows, and I’m able to see past the allegations, I guess,” John Traficante, a Point Park University theater student said to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at C.K.’s first show in the

pittnews.com

area on Thursday. “Louie’s always been really honest and that’s the comedy I like. I don’t want any upfront falsehood. Louie has always been just pure honesty — him, Woody Allen, that’s why I like those people.”

This is the kind of thinking that will render all the progress we might have made at the height of the #MeToo movement completely useless — a kind of entitlement society is happy to allow celebrities to have. We’ll allow those who have admitted to sexual harassment to continue with their careers, unhindered by the accusations because they were honest about it. Nevermind how unfair it is for men to be applauded for their honesty in committing such deplorable acts.

Pittsburgh Improv doesn’t have the best track record with the comedians it books.

Earlier this month it hosted comedian T.J. Miller, who has been accused of sexual assault and harassment. The Improv will also host actor Jeremy Piven, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least three women, in March.

Because the five women who have accused C.K. of sexual misconduct are comedians, one might argue that he committed workplace harassment — which makes the Improv’s decision to host C.K. even more shameful. The venue put its own employees at risk by inviting him to perform there.

There are plenty of other comedians one could see — and that Pittsburgh Improv could book — who haven’t admitted to multiple cases of sexual harassment and joked about it. Local stand-up comedian Cassi Bruno posted a list of upcoming comedy shows in Pittsburgh that feature female comedians.

Men like Louis C.K. shouldn’t be allowed to have a comeback, and Pittsburgh certainly shouldn’t have been made a part of his.

Gillette’s newest commercial poses a question that upset America’s men, even though it is one women face every day: Is this the best you can be?

boys” while two young boys wrestle on the lawn over an argument.

Gillette released the ad on Jan. 13, and many YouTube viewers quickly took to the comments to question the validity of the arguments made by Gillette, since the company’s razors are more expensive for women and a hiring partner of Gillette’s parent company, Procter and Gamble, faced a federal See Yurik on page 4

lawsuit in 2018 as a result of a factory manager allegedly repeatedly sexually harassing female employees.

Despite the merit that these criticisms have, we shouldn’t devalue the arguments presented in the commercial. We should look into allegations of sexual harassment and encourage Gillette to remove the pink tax from its razors, but it is reductive to discount the messages presented in its new ad based on some of its other practices.

Gillette’s messages of bullying, toxic masculinity, sexual harassment and references to the #MeToo movement in the commercial create discussion about very real problems. After the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements, many Americans began redefining what it means to be a “good” man, so why shouldn’t we ask if this the best a man can get?

Gillette uploaded its ad in the same month the American Psychological Association released “Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men” — which just so happens to address the themes Gillette’s commercial tackles.

The guidelines go as far as saying that traditional masculinity may be linked to higher risks of suicide, substance abuse, early death and violence. These statistics depict the severity of the situation, and how it goes deeper than interpersonal relationships.

Society needs to reevaluate gender roles and what it means to be a man or a woman. The fact that these questions were brought back into the public eye by a razor company should not matter — these topics deserve attention and consideration.

Gillette’s bold decision to air this controversial ad scored them significant views, with 16 million views just three days after its upload on YouTube.

It also landed a No. 33 spot on YouTube’s top videos on the third day.

The video got more dislikes than likes — 733,000 likes compared to 1.3 million dislikes — from viewers. The comments section of YouTube also contains more negative than positive

January 28, 2019

comments, and it feels more like verbal warfare than contemplative, productive discussion. But the commercial gave Gillette enormous buzz to say the least.

The comments on the video itself prove the ignorance that many individuals have about what constitutes harassment and being a man. One viewer posted his frustration in the comments section about a scene in the commercial where a man prevents another man from catcalling and harassing a woman on the street.

“So it’s ok if a complete stranger physically holds you back when you decide to go and chat to a girl because you thought she was pretty? What world do these people live in?!?!” one comment read.

Street harassment is unwanted and nonconsensual sexual advances — verbal or physical — that someone forces on a stranger in a public place. The commenter’s confusion about street harassment depicts the larger problem with the responses to the commercial.

The feeling many men have expressed of being attacked, emasculated or shamed by Gillette further demonstrates the deep roots of toxic masculinity. Commenters quickly asserted that the ad had to be made by liberal snowflakes, feminists or leftists. Meanwhile, the simple question “is this the best a man can get?” sent them into a tailspin.

“I don’t like Gillette preaching to me that as a white male, it is time for me to stop being a buffoon,” one YouTube user commented. “I am a married family man and I am proud of the values I have instilled in my daughter and sons. This clean shaven white male has purchased his last Gillette product.”

Instead of dubbing Gillette antiman, people should ask themselves why they feel so vulnerable when asked if they are the best version of themselves.

This ad presents real issues that deserve attention. But the failure of many Americans to look at the reality of the situation because they want to obscure it with Gillette’s moral failings depicts the moral scapegoating that still protects men from answering the fundamental question: Is this the best we can get?

Sports WEEKEND SPORTS: SWIM TEAM SHINES IN LAST HOME MEET

Griffin Floyd Staff Writer

Pitt athletics had a weekend of ups and downs, with dramatic victories in tennis and gymnastics as well as gut-punching losses in wrestling and women’s basketball. In the pool, Pitt’s seniors dominated their last home meet, while the track team put several Panthers on the podium at Penn State.

Swimming and diving The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams had a successful Senior ight Saturday at Trees Pool, dominating the Western Pennsylvania Invitational by winning all 32 events and setting several school records in the process.

Sophomore Blaise Vera broke his own school record for the 50-yard freestyle twice, first in the individual race and then again as the first leg of the men’s 200m relay with a time of 19.55 seconds.

The aforementioned relay team, made up of Vera as well as sophomores Ellis Cannon, Armin Remenyi and Alec Hoch set another school record, finishing their relay in 1:19.52.

Junior Madelyn Shaffer set the lone school record of the day for the women’s team, finishing her 200m butterfly race in a blazing 1:58.14. First-year Dakota Elliott starred for the team as well, garnering three gold medals in the 100m and 200m breaststroke as well as the 200m IM race.

“With so many fans and alumni here today, it was great to see Blaise, Maddie and the men’s 200-free relay make Pitt swimming history,” head coach John Hargis said. “It’s also a tremendously exciting sign of what’s to come for our team at the ACC Championships next month. We have so much more to offer in so many events.”

The Panthers will travel to Ohio State for their next meet on Friday, Feb. 1.

Track and field Both the men’s and women’s teams had

a strong showing at the Penn State National Open, with top finishes in several events. Friday saw Junior Aysha Muhammad win the women’s 60m hurdles, finishing in 8.53 seconds, while first-year Eddita Pessima completed the event in 8.55 seconds, good enough for the bronze medal and a podium finish.

On the second day of the meet, sophomore Greg Lauray won the high jump, making a

best time of 3:41.79.

The Panthers will travel to Michigan University next weekend for the Power Five Invitational, a prestigious meet that will put the team to a test.

Women’s gymnastics Pitt’s gymnastics team narrowly edged the George Washington University Colonials for their first conference victory of the season Saturday afternoon, winning 195.175-194.625 at Pitt’s Fitzgerald Field House.

First-year Olivia Miller (vault), junior Rachel Dugan (bars) and senior Brittany West (beam) all earned top scores in their events, with Dugan winning outright on the bars.

The team is now 5-2 on the season, and next up is a tri-meet Feb. 1 against the Temple Owls and North Carolina Tar Heels at the Fitzgerald Field House.

Tennis The women’s tennis team — which the University announced will be discontinued after this season — split its two opening home matches at nearby Oxford Athletic Club over the weekend, defeating Youngstown State on Friday before falling to Notre Dame on Sunday.

UGLY FIRST HALF DOOMS PITT IN 42-70 LOSS TO LOUISVILLE Dominic Campbell Staff Writer

In a tough game against another great ACC opponent for the Pitt women’s basketball team, the Panthers were overpowered and outmatched by No. 4 Louisville, 42-70, at the KFC Yum! Center Sunday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky.

The loss drops Pitt to 0-9 vs. the Cardinals (19-1 overall, 7-1 ACC) in ACC play, and is the 13th consecutive loss dating back to 2010, when both teams were in the Big East conference. The loss also brings the Panthers to 9-12 overall and 0-7 in ACC play this season, tying them for last place with Virginia Tech, and it is their 13th consecutive ACC game and sixth consecutive ACC road loss dating back to last year.

The first quarter started slow for both teams, with Louisville leading only 8-4 by the first media timeout with 4:30 remaining. Senior forward Danielle Garven started the scoring with a layup and made two free throws for the Panthers.

Louisville then exploded on offense and ended the quarter on a 15-2 run to lead 23-6. Junior for-

ward Kylee Shook led the run with six points off the bench for the Cardinals, and sophomore guard Dana Evans chipped in two free throws and a 3-pointer. The only Pitt player to score was sophomore guard Kyla Nelson, who converted both of her free throw attempts.

The second quarter saw Louisville continue its run and expand the lead to take complete control of the game. The Cardinals scored the first 16 points of the quarter, and it wasn’t until senior forward Kauai Bradley hit a 3-pointer with 3:36 left that Pitt got on the scoreboard. Redshirt senior guard Arica Carter led the way with two 3-pointers, with redshirt freshman guard Lindsey Duvall and Evans also hitting from deep. Shook provided two more layups to bring her total up to 10 points.

The Panthers got one more basket in the half thanks to another Bradley 3-pointer, making the score 41-12 at halftime. They shot an incredibly poor 3-21, or 14 percent, from the field in the first half, including 2-10 from 3-point range. Louisville, meanwhile, shot 13-33 from the field and 6-16 from 3-point range. The Cardinals also excelled at the free

throw line, knocking down nine of 12 attempts.

Pitt had a much more respectable second half as they managed to outscore Louisville 30-29, holding the Cardinals to their lowest-scoring half of the season.

The Panthers started out well in the third quarter, going on a 10-3 run to bring the game back from a complete blowout. Bradley converted an and-one opportunity, and sophomore center Cara Judkins made a foul shot and a layup in the paint. The Cardinals could only get a free throw from first-year guard Mykasa Robinson and a jumper from junior forward Bionca Dunham.

Louisville finished the third stronger than Pitt did, getting 3-pointers from Evans and Duvall and a layup by way of first-year guard Seygan Robins.

The Panthers generated some offense when Bradley and sophomore forward Jaala Henry each made layups and first-year guard Jahsyni Knight made a foul shot.

The fourth quarter saw another early Panther run as they scored 10 of the first 12 points. Nelson started the run with a 3-pointer, then the Panthers

got two consecutive baskets off steals turned fastbreak layups. A free throw from Henry and a layup

by Nelson finished the run, and the only Louisville basket during this time was from a jumper from senior forward Sam Fuehring down low.

The Cardinals finished the game on a 13-5 run, making sure to dispel any chance of Pitt keeping a close final scoreline. Robins was important in the run, leading the Cardinals with a 3-pointer and a layup. Nelson, who led Pitt with 12 points, knocked down a 3-pointer, and first-year guard Ismini Prapa made a jumper as well.

The second half was an improvement by the Panthers as they shot 12-32, or 37.5 percent, from the field, but they struggled from the 3-point line with 2-11 shooting from there, as well as 4-9 shooting at the foul line.

Pitt’s primary guards, junior guard Jasmine Whitney and senior guard Cassidy Walsh, shot a combined 0-9 from the field and scored no points.

Pitt will return home and look to finally break its losing streak Thursday against fellow ACC bottomdweller Virginia Tech at 7 p.m.
