You are mistaken. I am not “trashing” USC, I am stating, clearly, that rape reporting at colleges and universities across the country including USC is a problem.

alamemom:

College administration response to rape reporting on college campuses across the country has been a terrible problem for a very long time, and it is definitely time to make changes at all colleges and universities.

I go on to say that it is my hope that USC will respond to these issues in the positive way they have responded to other issues:

alamemom:

I hope to hear from parents attending orientation this year that USC is responding as quickly and transparently to these issues as they have to the neighborhood safety concerns

I have been disheartened and disappointed in the comments by several posters on this thread displaying attitudes toward rape that perpetuate the problem. Your comments about rape, Rosieony, are an example: Your comments suggest that she was drunk, so she deserved it. That it only happened once, so it’s okay, That he proposed later, so he made it okay. That she put herself in a bad position, so he couldn’t be expected to control himself.

If you will re-read my posts, you will see that I am actually trashing you and other posters on this thread for their attitudes rather than USC. I am confident that USC will respond in a positive way to the recent complaints. I do not have the same confidence in you and some other posters on this thread (in particular, the poster who responded in a discussion about rape with “lol”).
