The Enterprise — Michael Koff

“Minerva in the Garden,” by the late Edward Cowley, portrays the Roman goddess — a strong woman with a spear and helmet — of wisdom, which has been a symbol for the University at Albany since it was a state normal school. It is in display in the university’s library, where students stream by it every day. The University at Albany, with a population of roughly 17,300 students, reported 9 sex crimes in 2013. A report from the White House Council states 20 percent of women are victims of sexual assault in college.
