[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to UVA and never cared for the school culture much.  Didn't like the pretentious, Mr Jefferson's University, Honor Code parts of it.  Didn't like the fraternity/sorority, Laura Ashley dress/bow tie part either.

But I have a really hard time believing the lead story in the Rolling Stone article.   Yeah many of the frat guys seemed like smug a--holes but I just can't see them doing something like this.  And the implication that this was a local initiation ritual of that fraternity chapter - really can't believe that.

Really want to see this story thoroughly investigated and either validated or debunked.  For better or worse this is our state flagship university and it should not be tarred like this unless it really deserves to be.  There is a big difference between this story and a problem with acquaintance rape which I do believe exists at UVA and many universities.[/quote]

It would help a lot if she would name the person she could ID, but she won’t. 
I think it is reasonable to have a complaining party in order to launch an investigation. 
Who is in the best position to identify the alleged perp - she is.  [/quote]

Once again the victim is punished. She did a halfway thing -- changed the facts to protect the guilty, and she is STILL the one who is blamed. I would say unbelievable, except that this result is all too believable.[/quote]

She changed the facts to "protect the guilty" and you think that is a noble thing?

I believe that she changed the facts to better enable herself to take shots at the fraternity members while remaining anonymous.  That's what I think.[/quote]
