#1: Yes. According to what a varsity athlete friend of mine told me, there are multiple incidents of the university suppressing rape charges to protect members of the football team. A football player allegedly raped a female basketball player, and the athletic department allegedly strong-armed her (using her scholarship and standing as leverage) to get her not to press charges, though she eventually left the school. A group of football players allegedly raped a girl at our sister school (it’s right next to our campus and run by the same organization), and after no one in the administration listened to her, she killed herself. It’s a goddamned disgrace.

<p>whoa, which school is this???</p>

Number 1 is definitely true. I know someone who works as a campus police officer at a top school, and that school had a prostitution and drug ring that was discovered earlier in the year. It was a huge scandal on campus, but it didn’t get out.

<p>At least they broke up the ring right? Not engage in any cover-up like that EMU incident? They’d be shooting themselves in the foot if they bragged about it to the media or local authorities.</p>
