In reply to the discussion: College Rape Survivor Faces Potential Expulsion For ‘Intimidating’ Her Rapist [View all]Smilo
(2,030 posts)that a young woman would be courageous enough to step forward about her rape and be vilified and dishonored. To say that it was unthinkable that she was raped because she admitted being depressed and had attempted suicide - what century is this university living in. This is not, and never should be, an honor code matter. And because of the way the university handles things the local police should investigate.
The university needs to have its federal funds put on hiatus until they can truly say the campus is as secure as they can make it and take steps to bring to justice the rapists/attempted rapists.
A woman should be able to be safe - where ever she lives, what ever she does - yes even prostitutes should be able to go to the police when raped and not have to worry about being berated because "she was asking for it".
