Why be financially independent, she wondered, if not to publish sharp-edged views of the biggest campus issues?
amen

Then much of the campus attention moved on.
College rape culture is too set in stone. There's a way of doing things that doesn't help prevent future incidents and people just "move on" without addressing the systemic problems that allow it to continue. In hundreds of cases the same script plays out both in colleges and in public life.
Colleges and their surrounding cultures need to dramatically change the script to prevent these incidences. Accountability is the watchword.

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped<br /> by Hurubie Meko in The New York Times<br /> accessed on 2026-10-01T08:31:05
Example of a university sweeping another campus rape under the rug.
-
In the days after Jane Doe provided her statement to the police, officers tried to contact the men she accused, with varying degrees of success, according to the administrative documents.
So the police didn't manage to track down all the students involved?! WTF?

Cornell, though, conducted its own investigation.
Why do Universities conduct their own investigations?
Is it to help the victim feel "heard" in a "process" which inevitably almost always ends up papering over the harm and the continued issues?
Is it to make it seem like they're doing something while maintaining the status quo?
Is it to cover their ass in some sense?
In this case of the Cornell Seven, the fact that they didn't relay the ultimate harm to the district attorney is highly suspicious.
Who do university police actually represent? Do they represent the "corporate" University or the community? How do they treat victims as a result?
