[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does “appearance is important” mean any Vandy?  [/quote]

See point #8 in OP's thread opening post.[/quote]

Whether it's accurate or not (and is an issue at many schools), some posts and articles suggest that there is a lot of pressure for women always to achieve some ideal related to their appearance - dressing up for class, high prevalence of eating disorders. etc.

The following is a link to an article from a few years ago in the Vanderbilt newspaper that raises these concerns.

"The Vanderbilt Hustler"--poor choice of a name for the Vandy school newspaper.

The article, however, is well done & raises legitimate concerns.

Within the last couple of years, Vanderbilt had an issue with sexual assault & cover-ups. I think that it involved athletes on the football team and Vanderbilt co-eds. Was written about extensively on some websites. "Vanderbilt Rape case" wikipedia. The four Vanderbilt football players convicted received sentences in the range of 15 to 17 years. The incident occurred in 2013. Truly disgusting & shocking.[/quote]

Made news as the criminal trials were in 2017 7 2018 and appeals may have been filed since then.[/quote]
