  Recently, the emergence of the #MeToo trend on social media has empowered
thousands of people to share their own sexual harassment experiences. This
viral trend, in conjunction with the massive personal information and content
available on Twitter, presents a promising opportunity to extract data driven
insights to complement the ongoing survey based studies about sexual harassment
in college. In this paper, we analyze the influence of the #MeToo trend on a
pool of college followers. The results show that the majority of topics
embedded in those #MeToo tweets detail sexual harassment stories, and there
exists a significant correlation between the prevalence of this trend and
official reports on several major geographical regions. Furthermore, we
discover the outstanding sentiments of the #MeToo tweets using deep semantic
meaning representations and their implications on the affected users
experiencing different types of sexual harassment. We hope this study can raise
further awareness regarding sexual misconduct in academia.
