[quote=Anonymous]For the fine institution that brought you Brock Turner.  A star senior soccer player (an RA) with a 3.84 GPA is applying to law schools.  A football player engages in unwanted kissing of a 17 year old on her team (a minor).  The senior “accidentally” spills coffee on him.  The football player does not file a complaint and is not disciplined for the unwanted touching.  The school decides to investigate the coffee spill (and not the unwanted Lois’s)anyway. Stanford waits until 5 hours before the statue of limitations runs out and emails the soccer student telling her that she has been referred for disciplinary action and that her diploma could be withheld unless she provides “exculpatory evidence” in the next 3 days (guilty until proven innocent).  She kills herself.

This is the 9th suicide at Stanford since 2019.

This follows The report that Yale was forcing students with mental health problems to withdraw and then reapply if they wished to finish either degree.

Just tragic. And disgusting. Don’t smear the football players’ good name or ruin his bright future by investigating an alleged sexual assault.  But threaten an extreme punishment for the student who spilled coffee unless she can prove she is innocent. [/quote]
