The conversation surrounding sexual assault, specifically on college campuses, is growing every day. Universities try to protect their students but don't always know how to. Emma Sulkowicz's well-known "Carry That Weight" performance is one of many examples. Last week HBO aired a VICE documentary that revealed how poorly schools handle sexual assault cases.

Administrators at the University Of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) want to eradicate sexual assault on their campus, and have been taking steps toward achieving this goal. The only problem? One of their proposed policies involves banning female students from fraternity houses, and it's creating a lot of controversy.

"Women would not be allowed in fraternity houses between the hours of 10 PM and 3 AM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights as well as everyday during syllabus week and stop day each semester," the proposal's draft reads.

It also makes several other recommendations:

>> A required "sexual assault summit" for Greek life members

>> Beer would be the only alcohol permitted in fraternities

>> Fraternities would not be able to travel out of town for formal events

>> Mandatory drug testing for Greek members, a suggestion that was later dropped

But it's the "no girls allowed" rule that's royally pissing off Mizzou students, mostly because at first they felt like they didn't have a say in it. The proposal was first drafted by the Fraternity Alumni Consortium, a group of dedicated Mizzou alum who were previously involved with campus Greek life.

They are not officially affiliated with the university, Mizzou spokesperson Christian Basi told us, but sometimes meet with school officials to discuss issues relevant to the Greek community. The proposal's development began during one of these conversations that definitely didn't include current students.

"In a way it's kind of victim-blaming and taking the power out of the woman to decide for herself where she wants to spend her weekend nights," Carolyn Welter, a rising senior and Vice President of Public Relations at Mizzou's Panhellenic Association -- an organization that oversees all of the university's sororities -- told MTV News. "A lot of it is giving the power back to the fraternity men's hands. ... We are pretty upset about that specific proposal and the way it kind of suggests that women can't make the decision for themselves."

Welter told us Panhel first heard about the proposal at the end of April. Concerned these policies would be implemented, they immediately wrote a letter voicing their concerns. It reads in part, "Fundamentally we believe that it is an invalid document because it was created without consulting current fraternity members or the women it claims to create safety for."

The letter, which was signed by every sorority president on campus, was sent to Mizzou's chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin. He consulted with the Fraternity Alumni Consortium about the proposal draft before it the Greek community found out about it.

Students also took their opinions to internet and created anti-Loftin Twitter accounts under the handles @stopLoftin and @SaveMUGreekLife. The chancellor was even compared to the universally hated Dolores Umbridge from the "Harry Potter" series:

Look, we get it. The proposal draft's "no girls allowed suggestion" is questionably sexist at best. Parker Briden, a rising junior and Vice President of Public Relations at Mizzou's Interfraternity Council (IFC) told us the fraternities on campus were initially "offended" by the proposal draft.

"It seems to treat its students as children," he said. "[It] would not be the best way to actually institute positive change in the Greek community and would end up having some negative effects."

IFC has already been actively working to end sexual assault with its own initiatives like sexual assault prevention eduction and implementing a no-hard-liquor rule at parties starting next fall, Briden said, adding that while IFC supports the proposal's overall spirit, it opposes some of the "unreasonable" suggestions.

"In our opinion if you want to make rules that actually do something to affect the way that people act in that community, you have to make them reasonable enough that people actually follow them instead of just find ways to subvert them," Briden said.

Fortunately the students involved are getting the opportunity to get their opinions heard out loud thanks to a discussion-based summit that will bring together administration and current Greek life presidents and executive boards.

"Once the proposals were in a draft stage," Basi explained to us, "Chancellor [Loftin] agreed to host a summit, invitation only, among the Chancellor, the Fraternity Alumni Consortium, some other members of MU administration such as those in Greek life and our Title IX office ... and student leaders in the greek system ... to get student input." That summit is happening on June 20.

"Our hope ... was to have a seat at the table when discussing these things [about] the safety of women," Welter said. "We felt that, at least, women should be consulted... Now we're pretty optimistic. I think we see it as a chance to really kind of change our culture and help prevent sexual assault, which obviously you can't be upset about that. That's what we all ultimately want."
