[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the RS reporter that the point of this story is not to expose individual rapists' crimes or identify them publicly. The point of the article was to discuss the culture at UVA, an institution that believes that sexual assault is a crime better adjudicated internally and presents that internal process on the same level as pressing charges against rapists. They are not on the same level. Victims do not appear to be being properly advised, as in at least one case involving sexual assault at UVA, the victim was incorrectly advised by the university that Charlottesville cops do not have jurisdiction on university property.

Given the many, many stories that have come out about UVA, from the RS article (which some of you seem to be dismissing as not a reputably publication, but honestly, as far as feature magazine journalism, it's very, very good and articles like this one are well researched and fact checked to the best of a reporter and editor's ability) to the Hannah Graham and Yeardley Love and Morgan Harrington to the general culture of frat parties, binge drinking and promiscuity. It's not just THIS article talking about it. It's a lot of articles, from a lot of publications, about a lot of victims, some of whom are no longer able to press charges due to no longer being alive, all of which demonstrates a pattern of victimization and an institutional culture that condones that victimization.[/quote]
