[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The report faults the school for not opening a Title IX investigation, and one official was dogged in pointing out these flaws in September.

I don't think schools and colleges should be doing these investigations, and instead the police should be handling it.[/quote]

They serve totally different purposes.  Title IX looks at environment and institutional factors that facilitate a school environment that could lead to these incidents, and it is an opportunity for schools to identify ways to mitigate and improve.[/quote]

That makes sense.  My real objection is when colleges start meting out punishments with their kangaroo courts.[/quote]

OP here. I agree that's a problem since these boys tend to get away with rape. But can we please keep this focused on what happened in these high schools? The very fact that the victim(s) and assailants were juveniles certainly complicated things. While I'm convinced LCPS had a circle-the-wagons mentality and an impulse to protect the institution rather than the children, I also do believe their hands were tied in many ways about what they could or could not say, particularly when LCSO actually began an investigation.
