Reporting a rape should always result in an investigation.
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.
Factor in her fragile mental state, and you are making a claim that most rational persons would not agree with.
Bottom line is Sasha didn't want sympathy or her personal issues to be made public. The fact that you think that you know what is best for this girl you've never had any interaction with, and have such an intense interest in this, is bizarre at best.
Please tell us why you have such an interest in this story? Do you commonly investigate collegiate rape stories?

I'm looking at it from an institutional perspective.
Institutionally, your policy should be to thoroughly investigate any and all allegations of sexual assault.
I didn't have an interest in the story, as such, until I read a bunch of Missouri posters posting about how this thread was about jealousy about Missouri's football program or whatever and decided to read the report to see what was up. After reading it, the cavalier attitude towards what was a pretty big institutional (and potentially individual) failing aggravated me and I decided to post 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.
