The university was trying to suppress the scandal
There is something that really pisses me off. I think the policy can be really relevant if this policy makes effort to hold the person accused accountable. Around one year ago, I don’t know if you guys have heard of it before that, there was tragic abuse against an Asian girl - maybe from China or Vietnam. She was raped by a few [guys] and somehow this has been suppressed by the University. Maybe you guys have heard about it before. I think it's pretty sad that the University was trying something to suppress the scandal, to protect their reputation.
