I don't think honorgal is a troll.

I don't think it's either fair or accurate to say that either the victim is lying or that the accused is lying. I agree with Low D Flat - it's possible that both parties remember the same event differently.

Absolutely agree.

Having a husband who has worked in college administration does not qualify someone as having a "front row" seat to the inner workings of administration.

I never made this claim. I was responding specifically to this from another poster:

I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. When someone gets on a soapbox the way you have, they tend to provide some background for perspective

It may be a non-problem in your eyes, but to a college/university administration, it's helpful and comforting to have a solution/response to situations regarding student-safety concerns.

I find it hard to reconcile the above statement with your earlier one:

I don't think our colleges/universities should have to shoulder the responsibility of determining someone's innocence or guilt in regards to rape cases. Nor do I think it's appropriate to oust a student based on an accusation of rape.

Colleges are having to shoulder the responsibility, and they are ousting students based on nothing more than accusations.
