After two University of Washington men's rowers were dismissed from the team in 2017, the men and women's rowing programs came together to launch SAASHA — Student Athletes Against Sexual Harrassment and Assault — in an attempt to affect change in Seattle and beyond.
Washington’s rowers took their lowest moment, and turned it into a conversation.
In the summer of 2017, two of their own — John C. Young and Tyler Minney, both 19 — were dismissed from the men’s rowing team after being charged with disclosing intimate images, for allegedly distributing a video of both men having sex with an intoxicated freshman student without her consent.
