(KLZA)-- The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges has designated Wednesday, April 24, as Denim Day at Peru State, Chadron State and Wayne State Colleges.
Denim Day is an effort to combat sexual violence and support Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The resolution passed by the board aims to dispute myths surrounding sexual assault and the detrimental effects of victim blaming.
Peru State College is calling on all faculty, staff, and students to wear jeans to assert that one's clothing does not invite sexual violence.
