I have a son who is ready to go college next year. Even though I believe we raised him to be a responsible young man, I am afraid for him. The culture of where the students go (athletes and non-athletes alike) makes a big difference in how they behave. Institutional culture does matter and that is why the focus is on the institutions.
I commend Vanderbilt for the immediate action they took, but I believe there is more it could do and could have done. As the chancellor said, I was more perturbed by the bystanders who did nothing. This needs to change.
