Waiting on an Explanation

No need to delve into the guts of the case here. If you're reading this site, you undoubtedly follow such things to an unhealthy degree, and thus, already know. If you are in need of a recap, please click here, and here, and here.

The upshot of the whole thing is, unbelievably, that a rape alledgedly occurred at the University of Iowa, and the university followed a procedure that did not include notifying the police. Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. The very fact that there was an allegation is disheartening, the fact that the university had an "in-house" solution is downright despicable. As an add-on, the University also had the alleged victim living in the SAME BUILDING on the SAME FLOOR as the alleged assailant. This goes beyond fail, and into gross incompetence.

We fully support BHGP's call for the resignation of everyone who even could have been involved. Everyone.

We are also looking forward to Iowa's explanation, if only to laugh at how truly insufficient it will be.
