(Afterthought - this may well be OT, but perhaps not if we're discussing how communities handle sexual assault and how it allows perps to minimize their own actions._
Unfortunately, it's not just UVA and it's probably not just Virginia. Look at JM's own record, with LU and CNU.
James Madison University in Harrisonburg just had this case:
"Butters claims three Sigma Chi Fraternity brothers pulled off her bathing suit top during a spring break trip to Florida last year. She said the men used cell phones to record the incident and then passed the recording around to others.
Butters said her case went before the university’s judicial panel, which opted for “
expulsion after graduation,” which means the three will be banned from campus after they graduate, according to WHSV.
She said two of the men graduated in May, but that the other can return in the fall if he so chooses."
Later in the article:
"U Va. and the College of William and Mary are also being investigated by the Department of Education."
