UO trustee concerned about suggestive cheerleader routines

Eugene, Ore. –A trustee at the University of Oregon has raised concerns about the dance routines performed by the University of Oregon cheerleaders.

The alum and prominent Eugene arts administrator, raised the issue saying the school should study how the choreographed routines of the cheer squad play a role in the implications of a perceived “rape culture” on campus.

Ginevra Ralph told the Eugene Register Guard she has seen people so uncomfortable they actually leave the basketball arena during intermission because of the dancing.

Interim University President Scott Coltrane told the newspaper that he would include a study of suggestive dances as part of a half million dollar effort to stem sexual assaults on campus.
