When then-first-year Jane Davis left her dorm room to go to an off-campus party February this year, she didn’t think she would be in the hospital the next morning.
Davis was drugged at the party she attended with her friends the night before, hosted by members of Colorado State University's chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity at an off-campus house. What followed was several months of repeatedly being told nothing could be done, an experience that left Davis feeling ignored by the people and systems that were supposed to protect her.

Colorado State University's Board of Governors is planning a tuition increase for the coming year, which will continue to widen the gap between it and the national average for in-and-out-of-state tuition.
