55 Colleges Under Federal Investigation Over The Covering Up Of Violent Sexual Complaints ~ CNN

Good topic and relevant thread for here Shelby. Hopefully this one picks up and the Sterling one dies. 

 

I'll be interested to see what action comes from this report. Some big time schools on this list. Any administration involved in any cover-up should also be named and fired immediately.

I thought I would list the schools since some may not take the time to click on the links.

 

"Such investigations have long been known, but this is the first time that the department has released a list of all probes currently under way.

 

The list includes colleges and universities in 27 states and in the District of Columbia."

 

I am saddened that two of our respected Virginia schools are on the list.

These schools are not trying to cover this up.   Shame on CNN, they are playing activist here.

If you liked how the Duke Lacrosse case was handled, you'll love this new law. Guilty until proved innocent will be codified. Young men will be targeted and lives ruined due to mutual poor judgement - which defines most college hook ups.

       
       

All the more why it is vital to talk to our young men & women. To make sure they are clear on the pitfalls out there. About making wise choices. About being careful about the situations, environments they place themselves in, as well as the people they associate with. One can try and make all the right choices and decisions, and still be vulnerable. Parents, make sure that your daughter's know safety procedures,  and self protection.

igball - "mutual poor judgement hook ups"...that's assuming things are mutual. Unfortunately,  they aren't always, or are not sound clear decisions, that would be made with clearer heads. And that is what they are investigating.

Well James, personally I hope the Sterling thing never dies, and that this one should be right alongside of it, with people screaming to high heaven about it every day. Gun violence, inhumanity, child molestation, and any other morally corrupt behavior should be there too, so we never forget!

I was not aware that the Dept of Education rounded up sexual criminals.  How many have they captured so far?

Are you going to publish a list of schools found to have done nothing wrong once this investigation is complete, just in case we don't bother clicking on the link?

As a for instance IU Bloomington is only subject to an ordinary compliance review.  There are no specific allegations of wrongdoing or "coverup" as the title states.  I wouldn't trust the Feds or the media to tell the truth.   

Smitty, If someone posts a followup story, with the link embedded of the schools that were found to have complied with the handling of the sexual violence complaints, I will be MORE than glad to "publish it".

 

I copied the list due to the varied nature of the schools involved:  small, large, ivy, private, public, etc.  

No worries keewart, I'm sure there won't be a follow-up story exonerating the schools on this list that were found to comply, so you're off the hook.  But I suspect you know that.  It's easy to announce an investigation and cast a wide net and name names, it's a whole different thing to publicize the findings and point out where they were wrong.  There's an aspect of "guilty until proven innocent" to this that doesn't smell right.

Reed Seligman, former Duke lacrosse player said due to the legal and media rush to judgment has has to live with the middle name "formerly accused Duke rapist" for the rest of his life. It would be nice if institutions and the media do conclusive work before they destroy reputations of the innocent.

 

Now seems an appropriate time to shut this one down.

       
       


Unfortunately, the original post that I posted, got side tracked and off point.
Yes, there is bureaucracy, politics, red tape...
Yes, it should be innocent until proven guilty...
Yes, it should be given as much media attention if found innocent, as the allegations do...
Yes, it can cause irreparable damage to innocent people accused...

But even more to the point...
Yes, accusations were made...
Yes, enough accusations were made to warrant investigation...
Yes, we as Parents, Coaches, Colleges... need to confront this, deal with this head on, and not brush it under the rug, hoping it will all just quietly go away...
Yes, the same adults need to discuss this, educate on, to our young men and women...and what to do about it, if it happens, or if you suspect it of happening..
Yes, we need to teach how to try to avoid these things happening...

And most importantly...
That NO does NOT mean Yes...not ever!

And for those points, I hope it draws awareness, and poster's clean up their posts, agree to disagree. It is a very serious subject! I hope the post stands.
