FOI #24-014 (01-15-24, 5:08 am) - Subject - California's Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act - Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center Case No.: BA24870

Name - Michael Ayele

Affiliation - Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W ORCID.: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5780-6457

What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the decision of the California government to recognize through Assembly Bill No. 2777 (a.k.a) the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act that (i) an American is sexually assaulted every 68 (sixty eight) seconds; (ii) one out of every six women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (iii) only about 300 (three hundred) out of every 1,000 (one thousand) sexual assaults are reported to police; (iv) thirty three percent (33%) of women who are raped contemplate suicide; (v) thirteen percent (13%) of women who are raped attempt suicide; (vi) a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who had experienced sexual violence found that 60 percent of survivors did not label their experience as “rape;” (vii) women may not define a victimization as a rape or sexual assault for many reasons such as self-blame, embarrassment, not clearly understanding the legal definition of the terms, or not wanting to define someone they know who victimized them as a rapist or because other blame them for their sexual assault; (viii) when the perpetrator is someone a victim trusts, it can take years for the victim even to identify what happened to them as a sexual assault; (ix) it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitations are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; (x) it is self-evident that statutes of limitations for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover up solely because our statutes of limitations permit, and thus motivate, such behavior; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black man who (i) upon reading California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act was given the impression that 70% (seventy percent) of girls (below the age of 18) and women (above the age of 18) don’t file complaints either with the police and/or the courts after falling victim to sexual violence; (ii) was given the very strong impression that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) were complicit in the sexual abuse suffered by women at the workplace upon reading the 3rd (third) chapter of the book published by New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor entitled: “She Said;” (iii) has had his written content on the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center Case No.: BA48270 filtered by the “web” on the Internet without his prior approval; (iv) believes it would have been furthermore responsible of Vogue (magazine) to ask Jennifer Lawrence (in the month of September 2022) if she has in the past decided not to report to the authorities a sexual abuse she was the victim of...

Name - Steve Berkowitz

Affiliation - USA Today

The revenue-and-expenses report completed by the athletics department for the National Collegiate Athletic Association for the 2023 fiscal year. It is a multi-page document that is due to be filed with the NCAA by Jan. 15, 2024. However, because some schools file this report in advance of the deadline, I am seeking it in this request. If the report is not available as of the date of this request, I ask that you hold this request open until Jan. 16, 2024.
The report contains more than 40 revenue and expense categories, followed by specific breakdowns of each of those categories, by sport and gender. I am requesting the full report, including the detail tables and the entire Statement of Revenues and Expenses that appears at the end of the report.
PLEASE NOTE: The NCAA report is different than the equity report that is sent to the U.S. Department of Education for Title IX compliance.
