“UVA’s emphasis on honor is so pronounced that since 1998, 183 people have been expelled for honor-code violations such as cheating on exams. And yet paradoxically, not a single student at UVA has ever been expelled for sexual assault.

“Think about it,” says Susan Russell, whose UVA daughter’s sexual-assault report helped trigger a previous federal investigation. “In what world do you get kicked out for cheating, but if you rape someone, you can stay?””

“In fact, propagating the idea that Hannah was “asking for it” because she drank or walked alone places blame on entirely the wrong party. Who is ever “asking” to be abducted or assaulted? I would consider myself a fairly responsible student, but I have gotten drunk before, I’ve walked home alone before, and I’ve been assaulted while 100 percent sober.”
