Good collective punishment is not the way to go. Punish the rapist not innocent men.

Leadership is expected of a university president, not political posturing at the expense of those you are supposed to represent. Allen Rock is gutless and pathetic.

Now taking bets that this is Duke Lacrosse, Canada edition.

Well, apparently you can never go far enough when acting on an accusation.

If you read the story through to the end what you'll find is that the 'victim' wasn't a willing participant in the investigation, didn't even report the matter to anybody in the first place (her friend did that on her behalf) 21 absolutely for-certain other players are being punished quite seriously, and the cops have had 6 months and have yet to lay a charge.

Now, with all that said, what does the university decide to do ? Well, let's make sure that people lose jobs, develop brand new policies right now without even considering their impact, assume that the players must be guilty of something , check for evidence a crime was even committed many , many months from now, and destroy the futures of every other player on the team.

Good plan.

I'm sure it's just like Hofstra. Some chick willingly had group sex with 3 guys and felt embarrassed when her friend found out so she cried rape. The friend went to the police but the alleged "victim" won't cooperate because she knows the story is bullshit.

Feminism in action.

We can only wait, as we all must wait, for the police investigation to run its course

What a two-faced fuck. Unilateral action based on zero evidence when it suits him, "we have to wait for the police" when it doesn't.

These Universities are fucking ridiculous

Is there any comprehensive story on what exactly happened?

All I can find is that a third party (not the alleged victim) came forward about an alleged sexual misconduct that was caused by 3 players of the 24 on the team. As well, I've read that the fired coach knew about the incident (whatever it was) shortly after it occurred and chose to deal with it himself without going to university officials.

The police were involved, but no charges were filed.

With so little information to go on, it's really hard to know where to come down on this.

But that said, it seems wrong to suspend the entire hockey team for the actions of 3 players, whatever they were unless the entire organization was complicit in the cover-up of some sort of crime... especially since the 3 offenders graduated already.

If the coach did something against policy, assign a new coach. If some players were complicit in some illegality, get rid of them too. But don't slander the whole team for something they had nothing to do with...

But seriously, how can you form an opinion on so little information? Does anybody have anything else to go on?

Rock is taking a play from his old boss Chretien when he was a minister in that cabinet and they disbanded the CDN Airborne regiment because of some hazing videos that surfaced. Fucking morons, no criminal charges, police investigations isn't even finished yet. But they fired the coach, and suspended the program. Double standards no doubt, if it was a girls lacrosse team who assaulted a man, you think they'd do the same ? Not a chance. They'd be saying lets wait until the police report before we rush to judgement but instead since it's men, and he's probably facing pressure from groups to do somehting now he does. Even he admits it's not fair. I hope they sue them into the stone age.

Lollll just love to see my school in the news. One of the players on the hockey team wrote a letter to the board asking them not to suspend the team due to the actions of one team mate. Of course the executives don't give two shits. I really can't comprehend the stupidity and arrogance of some people.

You realize the money he'll save by firing the coach of the hockey team and canceling the season? edit: Just pointing out to me this sounds like an excuse, or maybe I'm unwilling to accept it because it's so ridiculous
