<p>there is Swarthmore, which Mini is loathe to criticize for anything. Hard to know how many, as Mini likes to put it, rapists are running rampant, without consequences, on the Swarthmore campus in light of this:</p>
<p>[Swarthmore</a> College Allegedly Underreported Sexual Assaults, Dissuaded Victims From Coming Forward | ThinkProgress](<a href=“http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/04/29/1933521/swarthmore-college-rape-complaint/]Swarthmore”>http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/04/29/1933521/swarthmore-college-rape-complaint/)</p>
<p>If this had happened at Amherst or Williams, Mini would have posted about 50 times about how this “proved” Swarthmore was a magnet for sexual abuse and how the administration didn’t care. It seems like we don’t know how bad the problem is there, due to underreporting. To the extent there may be fewer instances of reported rape at Swarthmore (and there may or may not be), how could those numbers even be trusted? Note the conspicuous radio silence, however, because in Mini’s mind, Swarthmore can do no wrong, and anything negative regarding the culture at Williams or Amherst just confirms his pre-existing views of those institutions. </p>
<p>[By the way, I don’t think that sexual assault is an epidemic at Swarthmore or Amherst, at least not any more than it is at any college or university … this is a college problem, not necessarily an Amherst, or Williams, or Swarthmore, or University of North Carolina problem … the issue of sexual assault at colleges and universities is not institution-specific. Unfortunately, the sexual abuse and assault of women is an enormous society-wide issue – just look at the percentage of women, nationally, who are victimized – which is exacerbated by large numbers of barely-supervised young people drinking a lot of alcohol, anywhere. The vast, overwhelming majority of college men would not commit such a crime. But some non-negligible percentage of men, period, will on virtually any college or university campus, or in any other setting. Rather than trying to unfairly demonize one institution as a haven for rapists, we should be focused on how to address this problem, globally, on EVERY campus].</p>
