From Tiffany McElmurry Creecy, graduate human resource development student

I am astounded and disgusted by the utter disrespect that Aggies have displayed on Loftin’s Facebook fan page in response to the Big 12 announcement (and I’m sure this is not the only medium in which he has received such comments).

From Anonymous, class of 2009 on thebatt.com

It’s true that dressing modestly cannot protect you fully from harassment on any level, but dressing modestly can certainly help.
