If that car is a Saab, yes. Everyone knows Saabs are real rape wagons.
--seriously though, chapter cultures can be toxic. While this is probably not something you've ever had to deal with at Lambda Chi Alpha at Gorilla State, the sort of climate you maintain within your chapter can be conducive to sexual violence. Nationally, we're implementing some pretty serious programming about sexual violence awareness. Most chapters take this stuff very seriously, but I'm sure there are chapters who just fart it off.
I'll agree with your basic premise though that the idea that simply because the President is
accused of doing something badly, and that possibly, it looks worse than the evidence would show because the school's Title IX process [and here's where I totally speculate] doesn't really afford a presumption of innocence and considers the accused's invocation of his 5th Amendment rights to be an admission of probable guilt.
Regarding this situation, it's waaay too early to be making judgment calls.
But I'll always welcome a discussion as to why the Title IX process is complete bullshit with regard to the manner the accused's rights are handled--not to mention the fact that school officials are not required to involve law enforcement when being made aware of sexual violence. I'm happy to discuss those things anytime.
