[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the l[b]acrosse murder[/b] and then the Rolling Stone article were strike one and two with strike 3 being the neo nazi march. I don't think that makes me oversensitive.

To the PP who suggests the AA female student attend GMU instead, academically GMU might not be the right fit.[/quote]

You do realize the Rolling Stone article was false?  That Rolling Stone had to pay damages to UVA for that piece?  UVA, as an institution, had nothing to do with the alt.right march.  UVA didn't even know they were going to march there the night before the permit-allowed protest in Charlottesville.

As to the "lacrosse murder" I think you are confusing it with the Duke Lacrosse case.  Please read here as to the 9 year old story of what actually happened, which could happen on any campus in the world.  Huguely did not intend to kill his girlfriend.  Alcohol was involved.  Lacrosse was not.  https://www.today.com/news/george-huguely-s-mother-speaks-out-first-time-death-yeardley-t107308[/quote]

I guess it's easy for PP to mix up which southern fratboy is murdering or raping which classmate. M[b]ight have been thinking of UVA sophomore fratboy Steven Dalton Baril, who was arrested for raping a classmate he meet at a campus bar. [/b]   [/quote]

They drank shots at the off-campus bar.  Alcohol was a factor.  She let him into her off-campus apartment.  She agreed to a plea deal.  He entered an Alford plea. He's not doing time and he is no longer enrolled as a student at UVA.  Again, alcohol is the problem and bad choices, not UVA.
