<p>The Swarthmore article discusses two apparently isolated incidents over a number of years and the issue of the administration’s response appears far less insensitive than that of the Amherst leadership. In fact, several people comment under the article, disputing the claims made in the article. I seem to have come away with the impression from this webiste that there is a distinct culture of rape existing at Amherst, materially distinguishable from the very serious problems at other campuses. It does no good to try to diminish the problems at Amherst by saying it “happens everywhere” because that does not seem to be the case; unfortunately a situation has been allowed to fester at Amherst for quite some time; the damage is only now being addressed and many have suffered for the delay which seems rooted in a culture of entitlement and secrecy, much like as what happened at Horace Mann.</p>
