Obama administration is bullying universities into reporting more rapes. Will not visit universities that don't report enough rapes. Shouldn't they REWARD universities that have fewer or no rapes?

Why are universities addressing what is a crime? This is a police issue.

civilsaint · 2016-07-05T11:21:12+00:00

It is becoming more and more obvious that campus rapes are this administration's WMD.

Keep looking guys. We know where they are. Oh, wait, they're not there.

fengpi · 2016-07-05T11:36:15+00:00

No reported rapes means that millions of rapes are going on.

A handful of reported rapes are but the tip of the iceberg.

The logic is airtight.

Clockw0rk · 2016-07-05T17:43:53+00:00

Ah, the good ol' "if you repeat a lie enough" rule.

"peer reviewed 1 in 5 study", you mean the same one that multiple peers have called absolute bullshit and was not reproducible by Stanford (which the president is pictured in front of)?

Huffpo should face criminal negligence for misleading the public.

In my opinion this is a grab for political favoritism. You need the support and favor of the female vote in a lot of cases to get into office or to make your stay look good. At the least you can't take a chance on not getting their vote

This is like MADD rewarding officers who have the most DUI arrests. It really corrupts the system by having those doing the reporting bend the rules. Officers can pretty much slap a DUI on anyone with little evidence and do so to get rewards (usually to the determent to minorities). The University system now has adequate reasoning to ruin young men's lives with little to no evidence. And in the case also effecting the minority.

Universities will always want to make themselves look good. So I do believe that these universities have a vested interest in under reporting the number of rapes or obscuring the crime statistics and that something should be done about it. Just like they would if there was a higher number of muggings that occur on a campus. So I do disagree with the subbys point here. But all rapes claims should be dealt with by the actual police and not the campus police.

parkowork · 2016-07-05T17:33:06+00:00

When victimhood is your currency, it doesn't ever matter that actual people will get hurt, just that you keep getting more currency.

kingjoey52a · 2016-07-05T21:00:26+00:00

There shouldn't be a reward on either end of the spectrum. Rewarding reporting more rapes will force false positives and rewarding having fewer rapes will promote cover-ups

Popeychops · 2016-07-05T23:27:38+00:00

Shouldn't they REWARD universities that have fewer or no rapes?

No, absolutely not, that would encourage universities to race to the bottom while sweeping real victims under the carpet. Universities shouldn't be rewarded for attempting to adjudicate criminal matters at all.

I want to know what universities are doing to combat ISIS. Since that sort of thing is their job now, rather than education.

iwanttheblanketback · 2016-07-05T18:25:56+00:00

Side-stepping due process and holding kangaroo courts. What sort of despotism is rising in land of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, et al?

ld2gj · 2016-07-05T21:58:13+00:00

There should not be an "award" for universities when it comes to rape! It creates problems.

Report more rapes for an reward; make everything rape

Report less rapes for an reward; sweep them under the rug.

qoppaphi · 2016-07-06T00:41:49+00:00

I dunno, Barack Obama not visiting my university sounds like a reward to me.

Clearly they've never heard the story of the time the French in Hanoi paid a bounty on rat tails.

The locals bred more rats to get more bounty.

Jesus Christ I'm just going to sit inside and jerk off all day. You've won women, are you happy?

Eilperin notes the Department of Education currently has 253 ongoing investigations into the handling of sexual assault, nearly fives times the amount underway just two years ago.

So, investigations are up 500% and they are threatening schools with taking federal funding away from schools that don't show an increase in investigations?

What is the motivation here? Two years, 500%. I know there is an agenda, I just can't really see how it helps those in power...

On the bright side, it makes it easier to choose which schools to send our sons. President/politicians visiting that school? Best to shy away from that one.

Temperfuelmma · 2016-07-06T02:53:46+00:00

A crime as serious as rape should be reported to the police. The Obama administration by encouraging universities to handle rape cases are discouraging rape victims to go forward to the police and get appropriate punishment for rapists and deserving justice for victims.

Obama administration is actively engaging in: Promoting rape and saving rapists by encouraging universities to punish them with the lowest penalty and discouraging police officials to take rapists to the courts and get them deserving punishment(including jail time).

MedayekMan · 2016-07-06T03:06:18+00:00

You know, there should be a protest to the University system. Maybe, no women in university until the rape epidemic is under control, or remove funds for sports into extra security. Crack down on parties. Close fraternities. Hire heavy security to make sure women are kept at a great distance from men so rape can be avoided. Let's segregate the schools on gender too, just to be sure. I'm sure we can get the rape count down to zero with such policies if people protest hard enough.

roharareddit · 2016-07-06T05:13:06+00:00

Imagine what will happen when Hillary becomes president.

2016-07-05T19:00:36+00:00

and Biden told the Post he’d like to take away federal money from colleges and universities that fail to “put the pedal to the metal.”

That sounds great for due process.

Seriously, if your a man at college and you're not limiting any contact you have with females, and recording the contact you do have, you're crazy.

Get your degree and get the fuck out.

xCAPTAINxTEXASx · 2016-07-06T07:15:54+00:00

No, because a university that has fewer rapes (if there's any at all) doesn't help further on the regressive left's agenda.

mwobuddy · 2016-07-06T10:18:07+00:00

Where is the poster from the 40's saying "do your part" when a man with his pants around his ankles, an erection, grabbing some terrified bystander woman?

IAmNotKind · 2016-07-05T12:27:30+00:00

I might be a madman here, but don't you guys think that just maybe when they look at how many rapes a campus gets, and that number doesn't go DOWN, then they veto it.

"poor job tackling the troubling frequency of reported sexual assaults" So in essence doesn't that mean if the campus lowers the number regardless of the personal baseline they would be doing good. So basically handling and preventing rape charges (false of otherwise) would be what they are looking at.

One of the biggist ways of lowering that number is making sure they are reported (although that's more in the hands of the victim) Making sure issue students can't reoffend (either by being a rapist or someone who lied about being raped)

That just makes a lot more sense doesn't it?

cajunrevenge · 2016-07-05T22:23:28+00:00

These schools could save themselves a lot of trouble by instituting a policy of calling the police every time a rape is reported. Any and all complaints would be met with 1 blank statement "All criminal accusations are reported immediately to the proper authorities and we have and will assist their investigations in anyway possible and we respect the due process rights of everyone to have a fair trial. When and if any student is found to be guilty of any serious crime we will then take appropriate disciplinary actions. If you have any problem with the results of the investigation or the trial then I suggest you take it up with the police officers and prosecuters".

Also i hate to do this but if someone told me I had a 1 in 5 chance of being raped I would probably avoid heavy drinking and not attend parties where a lot of these "rapes" happen. That's just me though. Kind of like how I don't want to be robbed so in don't go walking around the hood at midnight.

romulusnr · 2016-07-05T22:52:35+00:00

The title of this post is wrong. It is not to do with "reporting more rapes" nor is it to do with "don't report enough rapes." It is to do with responding and reacting to such reports.

According to White House officials, top members of the administration — including the president, the vice president, their wives and members of the Cabinet — will not visit institutions whose leaders they consider insufficiently serious about pursuing sexual-assault allegations and punishing perpetrators.

geniice · 2016-07-05T22:30:40+00:00

Shouldn't they REWARD universities that have fewer or no rapes?

No. Statistically any university of a reasonable size is going to have students who are raped. If you have one with no reported rapes its time to do something about the local police force (because their crime detection skills are so poor).

"Fewer" again doesn't help you much due to variance in reporting and random factors.

What you should be looking at is the ratio between various types of offences and trends in levels of reports.
