They want administrators to do more to protect students.

"We love this university very, very much," said UT student Alyssa Ashcraft. "We care about it. We care about our peers and we know the administration cares about students, but it's time they start listening to our requests on this matter."

The students say they want to see administrators release reports every semester about staff members who have been found guilty of sexual misconduct.
