If someone wants to fix ‘rape episodes’ on a campus...just get the university out of the business of law enforcement. Get the local cops/city police there, and start turning in real police reports....with local prosecutors involved....real jail time instead of bogus detention or Chancellor-to-student punishments. Let the real system work like it should.
Got underage students drinking booze in the dorm? Call the cops and stage an arrest. Let the cops take them down to the jail...let the kid call dad and let him know he needs real help ASAP.
Once we start letting the real system function like it should....the students will wake up and realize just real life functions if you screw up badly.
No, I don’t want to jail 20-year-olds for drinking beer. Some laws are so dumb that it is better that they not be enforced vigorously.
“If someone wants to fix ‘rape episodes’ on a campus...”
Prior to the sexual revolution the following practices worked very effectively to keep down rape on campus:
1) Single sex dormitories.
2) House mothers in dorms
3) No in-room visitation. Opposite sex members could not go beyond the parlor.
4) Mandatory curfews and lights out.
5) Chaperones at mixed sex social events.
6) Mandatory church services
7) Social disapproval of out of marriage sexual intercourse and births.
8) No federal funding of loans, scholarships and higher education. A college education was a significant personal or family commitment. The focus was study, not social activities.
9) Shared culture based on Christian values.
10) Focus on teaching versus research and publishing. Smaller class sizes. Professors know their students.
There are proven solutions.
