It's not just the article. People are popping out the woodwork now with claims of their own and corroborating stories. I have friends who went to UVA who have admitted that there was a sexual assault problem that was swept under the rug, and everyone knew about it. Which isn't to say it was a mainstream culture there, but it existed to an extent.
Bull. That is an allegation without merit, and without standing. I would suggest avoiding it in the future.
This article is straight up slander, what appalls me is that it would take a student to see that. The characterizations of the University, and of Dean Groves and Dean Eramo specifically - those are simply farcical.
I would wait for the facts to come out before people start crashing the barricades.

I hear you but I thought from reading the article that she was about to go to the hospital but then her three friends talked her out of it for fear of not being able to go to parties in the future. Knowing the culture at UVA very well, that was odd to me.
I understand why she wouldn't want to but it sounds like she had some real shitheads giving her advice.
Those former friends have strongly disputed that version of events.

Having attended three colleges and visiting several dozen others and seeing their social scenes, UVA does have a very strong Greek scene but I never heard of rape or sexual assault cases like being mentioned on there. The article makes it seem like everyone knows someone who got raped there and which fraternities to avoid being raped at. That's absurd.
Rape is no where near as prevalent as the article suggests

God you can almost see the classic UVA faux-elitism oozing out of the computer screen. I'll be sure to tell my UVA alum friends that their perception of what goes on at UVA is at odds with yours, and therefore wrong.
