"Rolling Stone Jumps On Anti-Greek Story, Deems Fact Checking Unnecessary" is right up there with "Water Is Wet" in terms of surprise statements.

Come ON, people.

There was a time when RS did great journalism, but there was also a time when Jordache jeans were a designer item. They are now sold at walmart. In other words....both are cheap rags at this point.

I am happy to read that Jean Mrasek, the chair of the NPC, has asked for a seat at the table in UVA's discussions of changing sexual assault policies.

I also read that the IFC at UVA is developing some new policies regarding how parties are the be managed in the future. Ideas sound good, but there has as yet to be specifics as to how they will be enforced.

Hopefully there will be a beneficial collaboration.

Has anyone been able to find the actual statement put out by IFC and NPC? If so, please post a link. Would really like to read it first hand, rather than read Politico's reporting on it.

Thank you very much.

I'm heartened to see some of the "key" grown ups in this issue are pushing back against the hysteria.
