It looks like there may be more to this story. The student certainly seems a bit off.

Perhaps there is more to it, but there may be more to the context of his “bizzare” response.
My first thought was that this student was being inundated with a huge number of people asking him for interviews, delivering nasty emails and phone calls, etc.
Only seeing one side of this, the blog guy saying he asked for an interview with the student about his “disruptive behavior” in class, etc.
I would prefer to see the communication both ways before I say anything. Instead of saying “I would like to discuss your views on the rape culture on campus and your interactions with your professor” he says “I want to discuss your behavior in class”, and I could see where the guy being asked might take the wrong impression and shut him down, figuring he is another PC liberal trying to nail him to the tree for not swallowing the groupthink.
“It looks like there may be more to this story. The student certainly seems a bit off.”
Looks to me like you’re right about the student. My personal opinion is that rapists should be executed, first offense. I’ve known too many women who were raped, including my mother. BUT any rape case needs to be thoroughly investigated, and the case needs to be rock-solid. Looks to me that this kid was disruptive of class, not participative. Been a teacher (high school, middle-school, and elementary) for a short time, and folks like that are more trouble than they’re worth.
