Look, I know a great number of intelligent professionals with integrity. Some of them still believe that sorority women are all hazed because "I heard you guys circle their fat". Having integrity or professional achievements doesn't automatically make one's beliefs factual or correct.
You said, "I heard many, many stories from concerned parents and grandparents about rape on the campus of UVA". To use a silly example, being
concerned that your child may drive into a ditch late at night doesn't necessarily mean that she
will drive into a ditch or that there is a real, ditch accident epidemic.
The only way I can follow your logic is if you are saying that you have first-hand knowledge that your friends' daughters and grandaughters have been victims of sexual assault at UVA. However, the phrasing "I heard...stories..." doesn't seem to lend itself well to the logic here. To me, that's like someone saying, "I heard stories that you guys circle fat."
