His statement is so whiny. He takes no responsibility for his actions.

^^^Thank you for your voice of reason. I agree 100%. There is much more than just throwing out stats which tells us how many but not where, when, etc, to help plan accordingly for your kids, female and male.

Scholarship v non scholarship. Ivies don't do athletic scholarships and don't emphasize sports as much. It creates a different dynamic between the athletes and the school. Plus the Ivy League is not the PAC-12. MIT is division 3 so not a comparable at all.

Three Ivy schools, including Harvard have higher numbers and rates of rape than Stanford. Campus rape seems to be more prevalent at top academic schools, although probably under-reported.

Well, bigger schools obviously have more people and that leads to more rapes. What matters is rapes per 1000 students, which the table in the article provides.

The worst schools are:
Reed
Wesleyan
Swarthmore
Knox
Williams
Pomona
Bowdoin
Gallaudet
Beloit
Dartmouth

.....

I don't see Stanford or any of the Ivies in the "top" 25

Took a couple more minutes, and I don't see any Ivy or Stanford among the first 100 schools ranked by rapes per 1000 students.

You scrolled past the 1st list in the same link that list Stanford in 1st place. Check again.

10th place, not 1st place.

You don't understand numbers. Click on the column that says Reports per 1000, then will you will realize what I am talking about. Stanford does not appear in the first 100 listed universities.

The riskiest schools for women are the ones above.

To make it easier for the math and thinking-challenged, where would you rather your daughter go:
A) Stanford: 16,963 students, 26 rapes
B) Reed College: 1,394 students, 18 rapes

What a mindless comment. You appear to be the one who is thinking-challenged. Why would anyone want to place bets on being raped?

Never mind.

The safe bet is that your kids will never make it to either place, with such an obtuse parent (or two).

However, if by some miracle you have a daughter who can get to college, ask her to explain to you basic statistics and life management.

I don't know... judging from the writing and actions of the rapist, intelligence and life management are not high on Stanford's list of requirements for students, so maybe they would fit in there. (and yes, we all place bets on rape every single day through out actions. of course as long as rapists exist, and they will exist forever, we will be forced to place bets unless we seal ourselves in a bubble and allow no direct contact with people)

Though one may place bets on being raped on college campuses, I would want to know where did the rapes occur? Were they in a dorm room? At a frat? Walking across campus and attacked by a student or stranger?

Just giving statistics, number of students/number of rapes, is not the whole picture. I would want to know the circumstances of the rapes then I would know how to address my guidance.

It's not unreasonable to know more facts before you throw a blanket over the whole campus. If the Stanford rapes are ONLY occurring in fraternities or fraternity based events, that gives one a much clearer idea of the situations surrounding the rapes.

No, you don't understand. I question anyone who personally says "what matters is rapes per 1000 students." What matters is one rape is too many, period.

Here's a different list dated 9/2015 since the Washington Post doesn't have a monopoly on data.

Stanford is No 11 on this list of the top 25.

Are you serious (bolded)? One rape is too many!

A Post analysis of the federal data found these 10 schools had the highest total of rape reports on their main campuses in 2014:

Brown: 43
U-Conn.: 43
Dartmouth College: 42
Wesleyan University: 37
University of Virginia: 35
Harvard: 33
University of North Carolina at Charlotte: 32
Rutgers-New Brunswick: 32
University of Vermont: 27
Stanford: 26
