Secular Student Alliance {SSA) is a non-profit organization that promotes atheism/agnosticism]]/secular humanism in high schools and colleges.
Secular Student Alliance and Richard Carrier sexual abuse allegations
The Campus Fix reported in July of 2016:
| “ | Atheism activist Richard Carrier ...champions an “intersectional” strain of atheism that promotes social justice.
And his reputation now lies in tatters... Carrier is on the receiving end of a growing sexual-harassment inquiry by a national student atheist organization that has featured him as a campus speaker. Yet he continued speaking to Secular Student Alliance chapters at numerous universities over the past year, even while the national office was “fully aware” that he had harassed students, according to his accuser, who stayed quiet more than a year before going public earlier this month. As a result, Carrier has been banned from a prominent atheist conference and even from writing on his own blog. He told The College Fix he would commence legal action in the next two weeks to clear his name. In a Facebook post June 15 that was removed right before this story’s publication, the former president of the Arizona State University chapter of the alliance, Amy Frank, said that Carrier “sexually harassed me and touched me a year ago after speaking at ASU.”... ‘I’m not even close to being his only victim’, and there are even more victims of other speakers of the SSA,” Frank wrote, calling abuse “fairly common” at its events. She accused the alliance of “go[ing] out of their way to undermine the reports,” and said she would boycott it until its leadership is “completely dismantled.”[1] |
