It was in the middle of a perfect media *********! I'm confident in suggesting that reaction would have happened at any university if it had been the target of that bogus story in Rolling Stone. The fact that any institution feels like it must act to make itself look like it cares about a big ugly accusation doesn't, IMO, mean the woke mob is out of control. But what actually happened besides a lot of talk, their Greek stuff getting put on hiatus for a little over a month, and then the eventual realization that it was all one woman's story that nobody had held up to any scrutiny, and that folded once it was looked into?
The UVA dean who was painted as a chilling influence on rape victims was the one I sympathise with most in this incident, and she rightly won a multi million dollar defamation suit against the author and the magazine. The woman whose story it was helped her win it, testifying in her favor against the RS writer.
Now if the accusation had involved a popular football personality instead of a bunch of anonymous frat boys then maybe the school would have doubled down instead, but again I don't think that's because of a school's position on the woke/conservative axis.
Maybe you could be so kind as to point out where I denied I like to use slurs? Why, I'm thinking of a couple of them right now but we do have this address the argument thing in the MA, in case that had slipped your mind.
