Dartmouth Students: University Is Targeting Anti-Rape Protesters Instead Of Rapists (TP)

A group of sexual violence prevention activists at Dartmouth is alleging that the college is cracking down on them more seriously than it has on the perpetrators of serious crimes on campus, perhaps because of pressure from Dartmouth’s alumni and administrators.


Last month, students at Dartmouth College staged a public protest to highlight the administration’s failure to address sexual assault, racism, and homophobia on campus. After the participants in the protest received rape and death threats from other students in an online forum, the college suggested the protesters’ public disruption was an equally serious offense as the threats leveled against them — and threatened to discipline them for it.


And in the comments section following to rationalize it, this: "There is also the possibility that the rape threats are false and written by the anti rape activists." (Yeesh)
