Ok, the University of North Carolina did not call a rape victim “little missy.” They did, however, compare rape to a football game, and not in a way that blames the rapist for, you know, raping the victim:
“She told me rape is like football, and if you look back on the game what would you have done differently in that situation?” said Annie Clark, describing a school administrator’s response to her sexual assault. Clark said she “absolutely” felt like she was being blamed for the crime against her.
Another student of the university, Andrea Pino, told CNN that school officials accused her of laziness after she reported lasting trauma from being raped.
Yes, because all rape victims could have done something differently to prevent being raped, and anyone who doesn’t “move on” from the life altering trauma of rape is such a pathetic, lazy-ass loser. Oh, and by the way, the good University also believes that if you file a complaint that you were raped by a fellow student, well that constitutes grounds for expulsion.
One of the other students who filed the complaint, Landen Gambill, faced the threat of expulsion by the university’s Honor Court because of it. Her alleged rapist and ex-boyfriend claimed to be “intimidated” by the complaint, even though he was not named.
Gambill filed her own lawsuit against the university on Monday.
The CNN report can be seen here:
I’m sad to say I was born in North Carolina. Thank god I’m not an alum of UNC, because I would be ashamed at having to tell people where I obtained my college degree if I were. One question for the administrators of the University of North Carolina who obviously believe they have no accountability for their contemptuous treatment of rape victims : Have you no sense of decency, people? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
