 Update, 11:17 AM: The names have appeared in a second floor women's bathroom in Butler. We have not received a photo tip of the list, so we cannot verify whether or not it differs from the previous three versions. Please continue to tip us updates of locations and photos. 
 
 Update, 4:50 PM: A lot has happened since we took our 1 PM final. Namely: 
 
 Bwog posted an article containing all the tips they've been sent in the past six days. 
 
 Spectrum posted that in addition to more instances where the names were written on bathroom stall walls, flyers were put in toilet paper containers. Additionally, Public Safety has begun closing down the bathrooms until all traces of the names have been removed. 
 
 Jezebel obtained photos of the flyers and posted the first description of the alleged rapists, despite campus media's best efforts to keep them anonymous. 
 
 We have reached out to the affected parties and will update this post as events unfold.

 In its second appearance today, a list of alleged campus rapists was spotted in a 6th floor Butler women's bathroom. The list consists of the same four names as previous iterations, and was written in the same silver marker as the version found a few hours ago in a Lerner bathroom stall. 
 
 Thus far, the lists have all been promptly removed by Facilities, as they are considered an act of graffiti. 
 
 As of 2:27 AM, The Lion has confirmed in person that names are still in the stall. 
 
 Additional reporting from Sean Augustine-Obi. ||||| *UPDATE 8:38pm* See an editorial statement from Bwog’s board posted tonight at 8:25pm. 
 
 *UPDATE 3:38pm* Bwog would like to note that the following does not represent the opinion of the staff or the editorial board as a whole. We have removed the 2:47 update addressing the use of the word “legitimate” because, again, the piece only reflects the opinions of its authors and not of Bwog itself. We do apologize for failing to make this distinction clear when the piece was posted. 
 
 In addition, we were tipped that there are “rape list flyers” in Lerner and Butler bathrooms. 
 
 Over the past week, three pictures of a list of people who have allegedly violated the sexual assault policy have been tipped to campus media. The first list, written May 7 in a women’s stall in Hamilton, had each name in a different hand-writing and pen color, suggesting that it was written by multiple contributors, but a thorough check through all of the bathrooms in the building showed it was gone within hours. The second, written yesterday in a women’s stall in Lerner, is clearly all written in the same handwriting, as is the third, seen in Butler late last night. We have seen Facilities working diligently with the administration to take them down immediately. 
 
 On May 7, after receiving the first list, Bwog was in communication with senior administrators, who told us that publishing the list would violate Title IX as well as FERPA. That, and the desire to be responsible and not start a witch hunt, are the reasons that the uncensored list will never be published by the media. In addition, perhaps writing this list (and publishing the work of a campus “vigilante”) is not the best way to create a safer campus environment for victims. 
 
 We strongly encourage the prosecution through Columbia or the legal system of sexual assault perpetrators and taking all appropriate actions to “cultivate a community that is hostile to perpetrators of sexual violence,” and we acknowledge the bravery of victims and faculty to help force change from the administration by sharing their stories. We are incredibly disturbed that people think this is a legitimate way to deal with the issue. 
 
 *Update 10:48 am:* Bwog has gotten tips, and seen for ourselves, a fourth list, written in huge letters in a women’s stall on the second floor of Butler. Public safety has taped up the door, but the bathroom is still open as of 5 minutes ago. Public safety is also taping up the women’s bathroom on the fourth floor. 
 
 A very similar incident occurred at Brown in 1990. Brown’s administration was eventually forced to respond to lists of alleged rapists scrawled on bathroom walls.

 Last Thursday, a list of alleged rapists appeared inside the stall of a Hamilton bathroom, and was subsequently removed. Now, the same list has been discovered in a Lerner bathroom stall. 
 
 A tipster sent us the above photo of a second-floor women's bathroom stall in Lerner at 5:30, pointing out that there were multiple instances of the names in the same bathroom. 
 
 By the time we arrived at 6:30, the bathrooms had already been scrubbed clean to remove all traces of the writing. Facilities personnel and Lerner employees were seen entering and exiting the bathroom, and when questioned, one of them admitted to having recently cleaned the stalls. 
 
 Public safety officers stood nearby, suggesting that the writing of the names would be seen as an act of vandalism as previously mentioned. However, since students are not required to swipe their IDs to access the bathroom, only security footage would be able to identify the writers. 
 
 Unlike the previous list, which was written in different colors and handwriting, this list appears to have been written by a single person. The series of events is reminiscent of a similar list of alleged rapists that appeared inside the stalls of various Brown University bathrooms in 1990. Brown attempted to remove each list, but like its Columbia successor, students re-copied the names faster than they could be taken down. 
 
 Columbia University did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Daniel Held, Executive Director of Communications for Facilities, stated that the previous incident was being treated as graffiti, which connotes disciplinary and potentially legal consequences for the perpetrator. 
 
 If you see another instance of the list, tip us photos and locations at thecolumbialion@gmail.com.

– There's at least one graffiti vigilante on the loose at Columbia University. Over the past week, lists have been appearing in bathrooms across the school's campus, with titles like "Rapists on Campus" and "Sexual Assault Violators on Campus," according to student media reports. The first list, reported by the Lion, appeared to featured the handwriting of multiple people, though subsequent lists—featuring the same four names—appeared to be the work of one person. Yesterday the campaign reached a new level, when two more graffiti lists were found and flyers describing the alleged wrongdoers were found in multiple stalls, according to Bwog. The school has quickly scrubbed the graffiti each time it has been found—yesterday it reportedly began closing down bathrooms until it could be sure it had removed the lists. Media outlets have so far blacked out all the names when posting photos of the list—Bwog said that senior administrators had warned that publishing it would violate Title IX—but Jezebel reports that the list includes a musician, a varsity athlete, and a "prominent writer for a campus publication." That publication may have been Bwog; the site posted a statement from its editors yesterday saying that a member of its staff had indeed been accused of violating the school's Gender Based Misconduct policy, and had agreed to resign.
