yet the lack of training wasn't the issue here, so why are we bringing it up.

Van Houten told NPR member station WSKG in an interview that Doe's statement was taken by "an experienced investigator" trained in sexual abuse investigations "over an extended period of time." Cornell University Police did not respond to questions about details of the length, time and place of the interview or other details of the manner of questioning before publication.

College administrators seem more than happy to expel and fire people who are a little bit loud about being anti-genocide; "embarrassing" the institution in the eyes of some apparently pro-genocide (?) donors is somehow more of a cardinal sin to them than raping a peer.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

Back in the day they'd be pushed out of their jobs, off a career ladder, because the most aggressive would gang up at the top and egg one another on. Shove the gentlemen out of the way. Saw this many times. (I think it is happening still and that is why Trump, why un-cancellations)

It’s also common for prosecutors not to comment on open cases. This POS is tainting the minds of future jurors by demolishing Jane’s credibility before he even starts reviewing. He still doesn’t want to prosecute this.

ok I'm a little mad at this because the prosecutor basically blames the victim for the lack of charges. it's common after a media outcry over rape for prosecutors to revisit a case to save face, not out of actual concern for justice. #TW

“She never says that she was drugged without her knowledge. She admits to taking drugs and alcohol voluntarily and with knowledge. She does not allege that she was forced to engage in any acts. She does not say that she was physically helpless or unconscious or incapacitated at any point during the time at the fraternity house,” Van Houten said of Doe’s 2024 statement to investigators.

The entire edifice of "sex-based rights" is an absurd moral and legal fiction wearing feminism's stolen clothes--and it seems this group of people promoting "Christian Rights" are trying a similar trick. The UK has fertilised itself for this perfidy with its own bullshit. Democracy is at risk.

And honestly, do it for you too. Solidarity heals the wounds of institutional betrayal. It genuinely helps to offer a survivor the things you never got. You don’t have to do it online. Or any other public forum. But you should talk to young people about sexual violence.

I’m seeing a lot of posts from older women about how they won’t talk or think about Cornell because it’s too painful or the problem is too big to solve. I’m urging you all to remember how you felt as a college student when older women said that to you. Don’t turn your back on the next generation.

"Black members of the university are shown over and over in many ways that the university is not theirs to belong to without cost. In other words, an unserious commitment to BHM reveals itself not as repair but as a deepening of that message of non-belonging."

Extremely powerful and courageous editorial. It takes some real grit to call out an administration like this and name names when official channels fail. Worth your time to read, and shame on those who were supposed to protect their students.

I’ll add to this that a big part of why Biden’s approach failed is because he tapped Title IX administrators to lead the effort, instead of survivors and their advocates. He picked the betrayers instead of the betrayed.

Student journalists are always much more willing to hold violent students accountable that university administrators. And their call out of the “educational interventions” used by schools to left rapists off the hook is a must-read.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.
