I would like to get a female perspective on this. I think you'll find that not every woman wants people to take it upon their selves to report and launch an investigation into their own personal matters, especially when it is well over a year after the event, and even by the independent report, Sasha didn't want her own closest friends, family, or anyone to know about it.

I fully understand your point about this. However, if a rape goes unreported, then the likelyhood of more rapes occurring rises. Any time you allow a rapist to go unpunished he more likely to rape again....therefore, the safety of the community has to be considered, too.

That said, I honestly believe it was more a case of a situation being mishandled and not hidden away by a devious administration. This is NOT a Penn State type situation. They made a mistake, pure and simple. Some of our laws and policies are so complex, the average person does not understand what responsibility is assigned in a particular instance. Heresay enters in and people act according to what they have heard the law requires instead of what the law actually states. I trolled Missou pretty hard in another thread, but it was just that....a troll. I really don't believe Missou acted any differently than the way most other universities would have.
