The women at Swarthmore are fed up.
(snip)
About the only thing everyone agrees on is that underreporting sexual assaults and harassment is a national problem, not just a Swarthmore problem. On the same day as the Swarthmore complaint, 37 students and alums from Occidental College – the Southern California campus President Obama once attended – also lodged a Clery Act complaint, following complaints at a half-dozen other schools, including University of North Carolina and Amherst College.
Colleges don’t want the embarrassment of being in the news, unless it’s a victory on the athletic field.
After all, it’s not a cover-up when it’s “protecting the reputation of the institution,” now, is it?
The Old Boys Club protects not only Old Boys, but also young boys.
After all, young boys grow up to be Old Boys.
Wild oats and all that (harrumph), eh what?
Aside:
I wasn’t always cynical. Once I pinned a towel around my neck and pretended I was Superman.
Then I turned 11.
