You said very early in this thread that the university knew about the rape in 2010. No one from the University of Missouri System who was not a healthcare professional knew about the rape allegation in 2010. You're perpetuating a false perspective driven by shoddy/sensationalist covering of the incident by ESPN. The university dropped the ball on investigating the rape after it was informed of it unfortunately long after the girl's death. The reason roadhouse kept asking who in the "administration" knew of this is because no one knew until it was too late to help her.

I later corrected that by saying they knew about it a year ago. they then sat on this information. they did not begin an independent investigation until after the ESPN story broke.

It's immaterial that the girl was dead when administration found out about it. the statue of limitations for rape is something like 7 years. (I can try to find it if you like...but it might take a little while) They should have done the right thing when they found out the circumstances. instead, they sat on the information and hoped it would go away.

Don't get me wrong...many other schools would have done the same thing. It still doesn't make it right. Missouri badly mishandled the situation.
