[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of what anyone thinks about the posts on this thread, the fact is that the school continues to have "issues" that reflect badly.  Sure it is the case that kids go to school and get drunk etc. and unfortunatey, some instances of date rape do occur not just at this school but others as well.  But the amount of "ho hum" and "well, what do you expect...that's the way it goes at SLACs" etc. on this thread is really quite astonishing.    Sorry but most of us don't believe "well...that's the way it is today" etc. [/quote]

I certainly didn't mean to suggest that the status quo is acceptable in any way, but it's fair to point out that this is not just a problem at Swarthmore -- or at SLACs in general, as you seem to suggest.      [/quote]

+1. What we don't get, PP, is why you're beating up on Swarthmore in particular. Nobody here has condoned drinking to excess and certainly not sexual assault. It's the fact that you're singling out Swarthmore for offenses that occur to a much greater extent at other colleges that make us think this is motivated by your politics.

In other words, where's your outrage about butt-chugging at U Tennessee? And why didn't you start a thread on the federal investigations into the handling of rape cases at USC, Montana, Dartmouth, Yale and many more? Why not start a generic "youths today!" thread instead of concentrating your anger on this one small school? [/quote]
