Interesting to follow these two sides of the argument. I agree with @JBStillFlying that the response to social ills at college should not generally be to pressure the administration (a strategy that is popular in part because of the customer status students enjoy at contemporary universities). On the other hand, the dismissal of victims of sexual abuse and the attitude that if you’re smart you’ll just stay away from places that are dangerous leaves little room for societal improvement. As an analogy, if your answer to the conditions on the South Side is to just stay away from the South Side, then how will it ever change? Isn’t it appropriate to try to change conditions? And I may be biased against frats, but I find it completely appropriate to expose the misogynistic and bigoted ways of those frats who engage in them. Yes, there is, indeed, something like rape culture. And as a parent, I am not in a great place to judge how present it is at UChicago specifically, but I would not presume that it doesn’t exist there. One place I would start is to look at what benefits frats have that maybe they shouldn’t. Are they exempt from paying property taxes on their houses, for example? Overall, I don’t agree with what I have seen of the demands, and I don’t agree that the University administration is responsible for what goes on in frats. However, I applaud those who pursue change, who expose racism and rape culture, who bring light to shady places.
