Why?[/quote]
Presumably due to ignoring or burying years of reported improprieties.[/quote]
Is that fact or speculation? If you are not on the Board are associated with Whitman crew how would you know what they ignored?[/quote]

Did you read any of the news articles where kids reported it?[/quote]
Please point me to an article which says that kids reported sexual assault to the Board and they decided to ignore those reports. [/quote]

You can look it up in the archives of the WapO. It was discussed extensively on DCUM.

So you have no direct evidence? Just vague recollection of hearsay based on vague and non-specific knowledge of a newspaper article that you think exists? Got it. Thanks. [/quote]

From the WaPo article linked above:

And nothing happened to Shipley, even as rumors were swirling that the coach had begun a sexual relationship with a girl on the team, inviting her to coffee after finals, then to his home in Georgetown.

The girl told friends that she and Shipley had “hooked up after graduation” — which the parent who’d lodged the toxic culture complaint reported to the human resources consultant, the team’s board, both Whitman’s outgoing and incoming principals, the school system, Montgomery County child welfare authorities and USRowing. All acknowledged to her that they’d received the information, but the complaint seemed to go nowhere.[/quote]
The accusation in the article was “toxic culture” not sexual assault and it was investigated.

There is nothing reported that the reported relationship above, which is acknowledged to occur after graduation, was illegal or non-consensual.

I applaud you for going through the effort to prove your claims about the Board and yet your evidence doesn’t do that. In fact, everything that you have claimed about the Board is untrue. [/quote]
