they DIDN'T REFUND her fucking TUITION?????

"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her." www.thecut.com/article/what...

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

I’m sorry, but if what happened to Jane Doe at Cornell warranted removal of the entire fraternity from the campus, how did it NOT justify removal of the men who raped Jane Doe? Make that make sense.
