Phi Kappa Psi at U of Virginia Voluntarily Suspends Activities

[1964Alum]

I live pretty close to Charlottesville, and people have known about this for years and years. These criminal acts have gone unreported and even unacknowledged for the reasons stated in the Rolling Stones article. Senator Warner of VA has introduced a bill in Congress giving the US Dept.of Justice jurisdiction of cases such as these. Where this will go is anyone's guess.

I HOPE that all the GLOs on the UVA campus join together along with other students to lead in demanding accountability for these acts and supporting criminal prosecution where indicated. Along with support for the young women to bring charges against these young men.

We have friends with daughters and granddaughters at UVA who are just beside themselves with anxiety and concern for their loved ones. Sanctioned criminal rape should have no place whatsoever in fraternity life anywhere.
