Disgusting: Baylor silenced rape victims

Wouldn't doubt for a minute the same tactic was used at UT. But the way things are insulated there we'll probably never know.
Phew this is starting to reach UL Underage-Prostitution-with-minors-gate proportions.
Maybe read the report from deadspin. An underage student was arrested for underage drinking at a party. She claimed she was drinking because she was raped a month before at an off campus location but never reported it. Baylor didn't investigate the unreported rape from a month previous probably because it was out of their jurisdiction and they gave her 25 hours of community service. That may be the standard penalty for this at a Baptist school. At any rate the school didn't threaten her to keep quiet they just did their job. It would likely be very difficult to investigate unreported events later especially when they occur somewhere else. I am not defending rape but this is more complicated than this OP.
The article from AP just details what the 6 women who are suing Baylor and their attorney are claiming. It has not reached trial and there really isn't a lot of factual information. This is all a result good or bad of the current administration's push to make Universities courts of law for sexual assault. This is patently unfair for all involved but if your premise is that the US court system is hopelessly unfair I suppose this an option.

I highly suggest if you or anybody concerned about this have not watched The Hunting Ground on Netflix to do so. It details just exactly why campus rapes are so prevalent, who are committing them, and why they are so poorly handled.
I would be a lot more likely to believe this kind of thing happened at TU than at Baylor. I still think it is hilarious that the AD claimed that athletes were treated the same as other students at TU after the complete fiasco with the EIGHT thug football players that should have been charged with attempted murder escaped without a parking ticket. And yes, the normal procedure is to charge them with the worst possible crime and then listen to some of them that weren't so involved sing like a canary. Two local men were charged with attempted murder for kicking a man while down caught on security cameras and their victim didn't even go to the hospital, plus they didn't do it twice, once to an off duty cop. Still baffles me why the two victims didn't sue everyone in sight, probably another "out of court" settlement.
TU bought themselves out of a very embarrassing trial with that settlement, I was looking forward to the AD's words coming back to haunt them. I guess he is still there covering things up while lying through his teeth.
It sounds like this could be not nearly as bad as it sounds on the surface.
Baylor also had the murder coverup involving Coach Bliss , combine the two and this may be the most corrupt university in college today . Cheating is one thing but murder and rape cover ups are on another level . They need the death penalty to save them from themselves .
