<p>I too find this a frustrating and troubling situation. I wish we could know more. But I am not drawing the same conclusions much2learn thinks is obvious. I don’t have a knee jerk reaction to a thorny situation. Brown does not have a pattern of problems of this nature. It is extremely disingenuous to think that your daughter’s college choices are not part of the same problem, just because it didn’t happen this week or is the news today According to your arguments, if they had better policies it should have influenced Brown to have better policies and Brown would not be in this situation.</p>
<p>I don’t think the lie detector test is a good solution or an enforceable one legally speaking, and people do have rights here. I would not like to see such a policy. I would never take one myself. I would like to see there be mandatory police involvement when there is a crime alleged. Why that isn’t part of policies baffles me but maybe the victim has to assert that wish and can’t be forced so such policies can’t be made.</p>
<p>In related news, a student I know was at Wesleyan this year when students, like some Brown students did, were informing potential classmates about the ‘rape factory’ frat and their dissatisfaction with administration response to that situation. Separately, I liked that the students gave a talk about women at Wes and this student came away enlightened about what feminism is all about. The notice these students put out is disturbing to future students–I had to explain this isn’t a bad college to an international in the Wes forum. I wouldn’t run around telling people not to go to Wes because of a rape and how it was handled. I like how the Wes students invited the prospies to join the dialogue–although it is harshly put.
