I feel like everyone is forgetting this one true/factual part of the RS article

Quote:

The University of Virginia is one of the 86 schools now under federal investigation, but it has more reason to worry than most of its peers. Because, unlike most schools under scrutiny, where complaints are at issue, UVA is one of only 12 schools under a sweeping investigation known as "compliance review": a proactive probe launched by the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights itself, triggered by concerns about deep-rooted issues. "They are targeted efforts to go after very serious concerns," says Office of Civil Rights assistant secretary Catherine Lhamon. "We don't open compliance reviews unless we have something that we think merits it."

Yes the article is a hoax but that aside, there is still a problem with sexual assault at UVA. It's frustrating that because of all the fabrication the true facts in the article are forgotten.

And so UVA is guilty? Of deep rooted issues? Has OCR finished their compliance review, and if so, what were the findings?

IF you are still taking anything from Eardly's RS article as "true facts", including quotes attributed to anyone, I suggest you read the Columbia Journalism Review report. Check the footnotes. I think specifically #4.

Further info on the OCR compliance review...this UVA rape advocacy website claims that it was triggered by a lawsuit filed by a student who disputed the outcome of her SMB hearing because it found the student she accused "not guilty". This case was in the news a few times, there was a UVA forensic nurse whom the student accused of mishandling her evidence.

Anyways, in case anyone is interested, the lawsuit was dismissed last month.
