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.
If this is true, then I'm glad something is being done. That still doesn't explain why the punishment against a school wide problem is being exacted against a number of entities to whom the allegations may not apply in any sense. This is UVA picking the easiest target as a sacrificial lamb, and in a world where the definition of rape is being enlarged on a daily basis, it's another absurd move that'll just end up stigmatizing large swaths of people while doing nothing to get to the bottom of credible allegations of sexual assault.

True, but the punishment isn't as bad as yall are making it out to be (at this point). Right now it's a suspension for a few weeks and is mostly symbolic, imo. Now if they went further and tried to get rid of greek life altogether, that would be absurd.

I feel like the people who are going to indict all of Greek life for the actions of a clear minority already have their minds made up.

I agree, suspending all current chapters is a way to save the university's face and make it look like something is being done when in reality it has no affect on the current allegations. Assuming that this is a legitimate story, she knows at least one of the guys names and most likely she knows the second guy from her class. All they have to do is talk to one of those two guys and I'm sure they could get the names of everyone involved and prosecute accordingly. The suspension doesn't do help them do that in any way though.
