Study Hall Member Alanna Schubach Reflected On A 1990s Campus Scandal
For Compact Mag, Alanna Schubach wrote about a 1990s scandal which involved the former president of American university, her alma mater. Drawing from archival research and her own . analysis, she reflects on how the former president’s “path to redemption seems impossible to imagine today.” She contemplates the evolving concepts of mercy, forgiveness, and progress within the age of #MeToo, and ponders how society as a whole can embrace a more nuanced definition of redemption.
Alanna Schubach is the author of the 2022 novel The Nobodies. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, LitHub, Iowa Review, and Electric Literature.
