Phi Kappa Psi at U of Virginia Voluntarily Suspends Activities

[1964Alum]

The RS UVA story is but one part of the investigation picture. And has nothing to do with the more intensive Title IX investigation into UVA along with ten or so other schools where a more intensive investigation has been called for. BEFORE the RS article. The investigation by the Charlottesville PD as well as that which the Attorney General has authorized will continue.

Should Phi Kappa Psi bring a defamation suit, there will also be a discovery process which may or may not bring in witnesses that have not as yet come forward but may have to if they are subpoenaed. The fraternity may well be advised to stay miles away from that.

That there has been a problem at UVA has been known for years and years And is why the RS article was found credible by the community in the first place.

Hopefully something beneficial and constructive will come of this. Including restitution to any and all who have been defamed. But also of enhanced security for students on campus. The issue of illegal underage drinking at UVA is also getting a careful look. I imagine that a bill will be introduced in the VA General Assembly when it convenes to remove adjudication of serious rape allegations from colleges and universities. Only time will tell how all of this will play out and what changes will be put into place.
