That's a pretty meaningless suspension, they open up back in time for rush and the spring semester is much busier/better anyway. Basically they are suspended for 3 weeks and maybe lose out an a Christmas party or date FUNCTION or two.

I was thinking about this when I read an update of this article on Gawker yesterday. It's a pretty pointless suspension. If anything, the students will do better on finals and come back in the spring ready to party.

As far as the Rolling Stone article, it was rather disturbing to read. But the worst part was her friends trying to rationalize what happen to her. Especially when one guy made the statement "You had a bad experiences at a frat party. Stop being a little bitch about the whole thing". I can't imagine how helpless this young female felt in a completely foreign environment and with people who seemed to try to brush the entire situation off.
