There's a big difference between believing someone and giving them ordinary dignity as people. No, we don't automatically believe rape accusations, nor do we automatically ignore them. We check them out. In the Duke case, justice was NOT served, and it should have been dropped almost immediately. NOT because she was a stripper, because her story unraveled immediately, like Ford's did.
Ford didn't accuse Kavanaugh of rape, remember? The people she named as corroborating witnesses didn't corroborate her story. That was the bottom line, after 30 years there just wasn't any reason to go further. No DNA evidence, no police photos of bruises, no police report at all, couldn't remember how she got to the party or how she got home, plenty of people supposedly around but no one supported her story, and on it goes. No angry father following up on someone assaulting his daughter, just no reason to go further.
The fact that you don't distinguish between hookups and rape makes me very happy you're not a school administrator. In fact, you should not appear in society at all.
They've been in charge since then and done nothing to change it. Poor weak, useless things, scared a Republican is going to look at them sideways.
Colleges are trying to present something people want to buy, just like every other business on the planet. Society wants to see amateur athletes and cheer for their alma mater, so colleges create sports programs for them. No demand, no sports programs. Your beef is really with society that puts a higher premium on touchdowns than on STEM graduations.
And they keep trying to create one because they attract more students with tuition dollars and more alumni donations. Look, you're just not going to successfully make the point that colleges are doing this for no reason. They know sports draw attention, so they create sports programs specifically for that purpose, and they will continue doing so because Uncle Sam is right there with the big loans to saddle new students with lifetime debt.
