Oregon: Task Force recommends stopping expansion

[Griffins&Quills]

Okay but expansion and sexual violence have no correlation, I think that's the point that's being made. Stopping expansion won't have any impact on the sexual violence rate because expansion has nothing to do with it. Education is what needs to happen to correct the problem.

There is a fixed amount of university resources devoted to Greek Life. Prioritizing education or whatever else may go into rape prevention means fewer resources for other things, including expansion.

Further, it sounds like there is a perception right now that the Greek system at OU has a rape problem. I don't know that I would want to be the group standing on the quad trying to attract new members under those circumstances anyway.

Yep and that's the correlation. There is no need to devote resources to expand when there are perceived issues with the existing campus entities.

Sorority women aren't the only ones who go to fraternity parties. If they really want to stop rape they should stop admitting women to the university!! Or maybe it would be better to not admit men...or maybe it's those dogs wearing bandannas...oh, never mind.
