Dartmouth is serious? How about starting with banning frat parties and the frat the rapist hailed from should be disbanded on campus. Some might call that an over reaction. But Dartmouth needs to ask itself this: how many rapes are acceptable on their campus?

How long was that post left up? Unless Dartmouth is hit in the wallet, no real change will take place. It will be all lip service like: "are taking appropriate actions under the College disciplinary system."

The young ladies on campus should be told that if they are raped, they need to go directly to the police, not campus security.
