“4 Ex-Football
Players at Vanderbilt Arrested for Rape”
“Four former members of the Vanderbilt University football team
were charged Friday with raping an unconscious woman -- also a Vanderbilt
student -- in a dormitory, The Tennessean
reported. The university, which had already suspended the former athletes and
barred them from campus, issued a statement that
said: "We are proud of the collective accomplishments of our student
athletes over many years and we expect the highest standard of conduct from
them. It is a privilege, not a right, to represent Vanderbilt as a student
athlete, and when our standards of conduct are not met, we will hold our
student athletes accountable. The charges brought today against the four former
Vanderbilt football players allege conduct which is abhorrent and will never be
tolerated. We will review our athletics program to be sure that it, like all
other programs at the university, reflects our culture of community and respect
for others and that our student athletes are held to the same high standards of
conduct as all our students"”.
I do not hear sympathy for the victim in this statement, just a
pat on the school’s back that they did what they were supposed to do.
Quiet
No Longer, Rape Survivors Put Pressure on Colleges
Activists go public in a concerted effort to compel colleges to prevent sexual assaults.

The fact that activism is needed to prevent sexual assault in the
United States is shameful!
It is about the
students people!
