University Of Southern California Mislabels Sexual Assaults As ‘Personal Injuries’

4. Ya know what?

The DOJ should investigate.

Universities can be irresponsible about reporting crimes because they want their school to appear pristine. They don't want anything to stop the flow of students onto their campuses.

As far as a rush to judgement, I want a rush to justice. That means to quickly and efficiently assign enough people to investigate the claims, vet the statements and people, and come to a conclusion. I realize that it can be slow, but that is used as an excuse to make the time interminable. Get experienced sex crime investigators who know the ropes with victims, alleged wrongdoers, and the law. In addition, KEEP THE ADMINS out of it. They will play CYA to the max.

It doesn't mean stonewalling, being slow to aid in the investigation nor quietly assigning punishment for those who deserve it. There is no deterrent if the punishment does not meet the crime.

My first thoughts were for the victims. Yours were apparently for the school. I want a fair appraisal too, but not at the expense of blaming the victims and not supporting them. If they are found to be lying, they should be punished too.
