[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford should be held liable for this. Utterly callous and negligent. Young adults when put in vulnerable positions aren’t in a position to think rationally. Their brains are not fully developed yet.

What’s more shocking is Stanford’s reaction to this. A family lost their daughter forever!

I am amazed at their callous treatment of her - she was a goalie for their women’s soccer team. Where were the coaches? There were no faculty/coaches looped in or supporting her?

Exactly. No one was there for her. I get she was an adult but still she was vulnerable and let Stanford know that in many formats. I am not condoning her actions (assuming it was not an accident). But there was context and also she earned the right to make a mistake. After all she did for the school, she deserved someone there supporting her. I don’t think $10m is enough. [/quote]

I’m just curious if posters like you would say the same if the roles were reversed. A man throws coffee on a woman he perceives to have wrong a friend of his, and he injures her in some way. Would you expect the university to provide him with “support” while they investigated his actions?[/quote]

Yes, I absolutely would. All the students deserve support. And even more so if they were a 4 year role model with stellar record and the “wronging” of friend was sexual in nature. Question for you— why was the boys mother involved but Katie’s parent never brought in? This did not need to escalate in the manner it did and it is the University’s fault. Again, wrong of her but the punitive action of the school was abhorrent. [/quote]
