LMAO. Because no one has ever said anything in an interview (on NPR!!) that isn't completely true just to save their asses.

The one in five or one in four (depending which garbage truck your stats fell off of) rates are HIGHLY questionable.

Very smart move by Mr. Smithiser, if he wants IFC to "have a seat at the table".

Has anyone seen reporting on this story that has been able to confirm what percentage of sexual assault complaints originate from the fraternities at UVA? Seems like it would be a relevant piece of information.

How so (for this particular story)?

Because we are now being admonished to pay no attention to the fact that the Phi Psi gang rape likely is a fabrication and instead focus on the fact that UVA has a rape problem, especially at their fraternities.

I'd like to have those allegations quantified, not just blindly accept them.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
