<p>I haven’t read this whole thread, but the kid who killed himself was arrested on Felony charges the day before he killed himself. Amherst expelled the kid who they found guilty of sexually assaulting the victim. </p>
<p>Enough already. We are all responsible for our own behaviors and our own choices, no matter how ill-advised or impulsive they may be. I am sorry for this kid, but he had big problems that have nothing to do with the sexual assault. If you read his (very articulate and poignant) suicide note, it is heartfelt until he goes off on the rant about statistics and sexual assault. Clearly 1/5 women and 1/7 men don’t go and kill themselves. </p>
<p>This poor soul’s issues are not Amherst’s fault. I see no indication that Amherst did not respond appropriately.</p>
