Btw, the only reason I know the name of the frat is because I read it every time I click this thread.

From your own quote: "For example, an alleged attacker that Jackie identified to them for the first time this week"

From what I've read it doesn't sound like she identified any of the alleged attackers until all of this started coming out and being investigated.

And there's a difference between what certain people who are part of the investigation know and what is released to the public. A vague description like blonde hair, blue eyes, junior who worked as a lifeguard in 2012 isn't going to identify anyone unless someone is familiar with who worked as a lifeguard that semester. And it's certainly not going to provide fuel to as many crazy people who are out there and send threats and stuff.

I'm not saying the fraternity shouldn't know who is accusing them or that investigators or journalists shouldn't know. I merely think it's unfair for her name to have been released to the general public.

The guy's name didn't come out to the public at any point (from when he was accused of the crime until now) so no I don't think it's fair that her name comes out to the public at this point in time. That's a double standard and her safety has been compromised while this is still being investigated. No, I don't think that's fair.

I don't understand the notion of naming her to the public, either. What purpose does that serve beyond putting her safety at risk? I know that the fraternity was harassed and vandalized. That was bad. People should be punished accordingly. But we do not live in a society where we mete out "eye-for-an-eye" justice.
