I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

The Bucks beat the Lakers 118-96. All five are in the Basketball Hall of Fame now.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.
