[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many men accused of sexual assault at Stanford received an email threatening to withhold their diploma?  I would be shocked if it were any.  Certainly if a woman decides not to file a complaint, there is no discipline.

Meanwhile, she spills coffee. He doesn’t file a complaint. And Stanford still goes for the nuclear option.  That’s an absurd over reaction.  Did they learn nothing from Brock Turner?[/quote]

I’m so furious. I was part of a similar incident at Dartmouth. The deans tried to push me into the campus disciplinary system and were pissed when I went to the Hanover police and asked to press charges. I was repeatedly asked by an administrator responsible for my access to course registration and on-campus job recruiting to drop the charges because it would be “better”  to deal with it on campus. For them.

In the end, I stayed on campus during a break to testify in court. Unfortunately the prosecutor accepted a plea deal the day before. The incident- in which I had done nothing- ultimately affected my recruiting and my life after graduation.

Rest in peace, Katie Meyer. I hate what they did to her and respect her so much- anyone who doesn’t understand the power an institution has over its students in this kind of scenario is ignorant and naive. I wish they hadn’t cornered her like this.[/quote]

How is this remotely similar?  You were the victim, Katie was alleged to be the assailant.[/quote]

I was at Yale in the mid nineties. A male student walked up to a black female student in the dining room on a dare and smacked her on the face. She tried to report him to the master of the college. The master did not get back to her or meet with her for several days, so she went to the new haven police and reported an assault. I think she absolutely did the right thing, but so many people in the res college thought she should not have gone to the police.[/quote]

So I was also at Yale in the mid 90s. This doesn't quite ring true because your language is off. I have never heard a Yalie said "dining room." [/quote]
