I hear there's going to be a student march on campus tomorrow to protest

It seems these alleged coverups were not just related to athletes but other students as well.

What incentive does the university have to cover for Johnny Frat Boy?

Good. Sexual assault can’t be tolerated in any way.

But there is no alleged coverup. Gross incompetence, yes. Criminal conspiracy, no.

Which I don’t understand, disclaimer I’m not a woman, but I feel like if you get raped, do you really care if the person is kicked out of school? If you were raped you should want them in jail.

I would think you wouldn’t want your rapist walking around the same campus as you. The trauma these victims go through is very intense. Sad stuff.

One of the young ladies in the USA Today story said she still had classes with the dude she claimed had violated her. I can definitely get why it would be infuriating to see him walking around campus, let alone in the same classroom with you.

And whether we think Title IX cases are a good way to get justice or not, that does nothing to acquit LSU of its liability to faithfully comply with the law.

Guilbeau hammered on this point earlier today:

The most disturbing, distasteful and damning part of the piece, though, was the apparent organized teamwork and togetherness by LSU officials throughout campus.

It looks like just about all branches of LSU power were in this game of dismiss, divert, disregard and deny female accusers of various deviant behavior by football players and others, including rape and beatings. The football program, a tennis coach, a diving coach, two senior athletic administrators, the athletic department, the university, the Title IX office and LSU Police — they were all in.

Lack of institutional control is written all over LSU's face, and this will not bode well for the current NCAA investigations of LSU basketball and football still transpiring.

"They're making decisions that are best for the success of the program," Temple professor Elizabeth Taylor, who studies sexual assaults by athletes, says in the story. "And they're making the decision to put the safety and well-being of other students behind a player's ability to play on a Saturday afternoon."

Taylor said LSU displayed the same systemic lack of ability to handle sexual accusations as previously seen in high profile cases at Michigan State, Penn State and Baylor.

The story says at least seven LSU officials had "direct knowledge" about the continued beatings of a female LSU tennis player by former LSU wide receiver Drake Davis in 2017 and '18.

Finally, in April of 2018, associate athletic director Miriam Segar, the athletic department's senior woman administrator, began to see the light and filed a Title IX report. Davis, though, was still practicing with the football team in early August 2018 after continued beatings of the tennis player.

This is some pretty serious shite. And whether you agree with how Guilbeau paints it or not, there's a damn good reason the interim President is bringing in outside help. He sees how quickly this is going to blow up.

quote:

LSU interim president Thomas Galligan, who should be retained, made a smart move Monday by hiring an outside law firm specializing in university issues to conduct an independent review of his school's sleazy shenanigans.

And instead of being overly defensive, he admitted wrongdoing and mentioned "misconduct" that was "ignored, dismissed outright or mishandled by coaches and university officials."

That is a start.

I see tons of left-wing students saying that they want the fb program dismantled. CEO not saying "Yeah I hate Drumpf, frick you too!" on that FNC segment months ago sent them over the edge and they haven't climbed back. Throw in the MeToo stuff and Robert Mann turning "his" students into activists and you get this

Some of the victims are very afraid of retaliation.

So she still had a class with him. What if she didn’t and he lived in the same apartment complex? Isn’t that just as bad? That’s why you go to the police if you are raped, going to the university about it seems like you aren’t really serious about the allegation, IMO

quote:

I think that the athletes are going to finally learn to stay the frick away from the girls who throw themselves at them. They are all motivated by $$. One experience with a ho isn't worth your career

---

The fact that some people think this is the issue here is appalling

That’s a horseshite assumption by Guilbeau, who is a notorious anti-LSU a-hole.

Ask yourself what is more likely, incompetence or a coordinated effort between several parties? I think the answer is clear.
