Hundreds of University of Delaware students rallied Friday afternoon, calling for transparency in the school's harassment policy following accusations that a professor offered a student an "A" in exchange for sexual favors.
The gathering, which was attended by more than 300 students and teachers, started at Memorial Hall. Most of the event's attendants sat on the building steps facing the Green, while others stood or sat near the building.
