Sherrice Iverson’s mother has protested Cash’s enrollment at Berkeley University. Her protests “have left many students, faculty and staff at the school questioning whether Berkeley can or should take action against a student for conduct that is not illegal, but which many consider to be immoral" (Morgan, Shunning and Shaming). Many students enrolled at Berkeley are of the opinion that Cash does not represent the morals that Berkeley strives to uphold. These students believe that Berkeley would benefit if Cash were not present on campus as the school would receive better reviews from sponsors and that those looking to register at Berkeley would be more inclined to join the school. Cash continues to show no remorse to the family or child affected. According to the article Creeps on Campus, "In a slew of media interviews, he [Cash] was quoted as saying that he was going to profit from the killing by selling the movie rights and, incredibly, that his notoriety was helping him pick up girls..." (Mckeen). Cash continues to show that he enjoys the media coverage which supports that he shows no remorse or guilt towards the incident. An article by Doug Bandow stated that, "He [Cash] covered his college dorm room with articles on the case." When Cash was confronted by media outlets he maintained that he felt there was nothing he could have done. He refuses to apologize to the young girl’s family justifying his response by stating that he didn’t know this little girl, or dark children in Panama, or those dying of disease in Egypt. He only felt sorrow at the loss of his friend Jeremy

The book Missoula shares stories of five women who were sexually assaulted at the University of Montana, Missoula and follows their cases all the way to trial. As a girl who has always been told that a college education is necessary to succeed in life, the idea that colleges arent safe for me felt like a secret that I wasnt allowed to know until I experienced it for myself. Reading the statistics and seeing how all of the rapists walked away unpunished strengthened my understanding of the fact that sexual assault is a normal occurance on college campuses.

Harper-Mercer was also diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome (a type of autism spectrum disorder), which he had many struggles with when he was a child. His mother did not do anything to treat him for it because she learned how to cope with her own autism spectrum disorder.

He had an interest in guns, and his mother knew about this because “she kept numerous firearms in her home and expressed pride in her knowledge about them, as well as in her son’s expertise on the subject” (Healy).
