TRANSLATION: “It was all a lie, but we can’t let a crisis go to waste.”
Must have Dan “fake but accurate” Rather running UVa’s PC circus.
Fire Sullivan now!!
Of course they will not reinstate the fraternities.
THAT would be admitting they made a mistake.
Looks like UVA and its’ President will be paying some LARGE settlements.
As a STATE university, there is a requirement for due process, not administrative fiat. . . .
“the facts were wrong, but the narrative was right.”
(Evan Thomas of Newsweek, about his magazine’s coverage of the Duke lacrosse case).
Applicable here, also.
Are they going to get rid of the sororities as well?
It’s not about the validity of the clam but the seriousness of the crime. Because there is no evidence they must investigate.
I hope the fraternities sue Rolling Stone for libel and the school for wrongful punishment.
Most undergraduates only extend the skill set of "how to go to school" rather than coming to grips with the task of providing for oneself through industriousness and resourcefulness in the workaday environment.
Make them prove they can do that before sending them to an institution to rape with consent withdrawn after the fact, to consume toxins until one is regularly blotto, and toss firecrackers and verbal barbs at one another.
I know, because I did it the wrong way the first time, myself. And the fraternity life was a factor multiplier in this, not a helper.
My salvation was that I distinctly failed, and after maturation got a second chance. I hate to think what my life would have been if I just barely passed the course work, got the degree, and thus never got the second chance.
Forget asking for school permission, for anything. This is a civil rights issue. The right of free association. These groups of men have the right to do anything lawful. Just don’t ask for anyones money, resources, or approval.
If they have to secure a house/facilities off-campus, then just do it.
The admins at most, if not all, of the Universities are as anti-fraternal as any radical feminist.
They banned sorority gatherings because of the “rape culture”.
This proves that this episode was just a witch hunt.
Well, all those rich boys are rapists anyway. Even if they didn’t rape they’re still rapists because all men are rapists.

Bye bye frat alum donations
Here is a thought — the Greeks should get together and encourage those who are already out of school to stop giving to the university. No money, no “in kind” support no ticket purchases (at extorted prices) no response to a “rally around the flag of the old school” call.
When the university decides to be fair and gets rid of the grievance studies clowns then the Greeks and the rest of the alumni community should deliberate about supporting the school.
An old Kappa Sig.
I hope the rich frat brother alumni act accordingly.
So...if I wrote a fake but accurate story about gang rape at a UVA faculty party, would they suspend the faculty?
So sororities will be banned too?
Did these morons not learn ONE THING from the fake Duke lacross case?
