12816080, a bit hard to deal with
Posted by akon, Wed May-27-15 05:43 PM
(shit, how'd i got from one school with issues on how they handle sexual assault cases (columbia)
to another school under fed-investigation for the same (hopkins)
sheesh


its really hard for me to outright dismiss her claims-
and maybe because i believe most survivors actually dont lie when they do come forward
and those that do lie... well its really a disservice to survivors
however, i do admit her story doesnt really hold up... so there's that

but my bigger concern though is how the uni handled all this

the case was dismissed - and hopefully she was provided with all options to help her deal with all this
but in the same vein, i'd consider the whole 'carry-the-mattress' to be a bit of harassment
especially if there is the potential that these allegations were not true
i dont know what the uni could have done to stop that, but i think they should have...
they should've offered equal protection to both parties in a case as problematic as this.

*oh i see he's suing CU*
