Yale University has been fined $165,000 for failing to report serious sex crimes on its prestigious campus.
After a seven-year investigation into the Ivy League university’s violations, it was discovered that Yale had failed to report four sex attacks and compiled “incomplete and unreliable” crime reports, lulling students into a false sense of security.
Yale reported only five sex offenses between 2000 and 2002, while Harvard reported 80 from that same period and Princeton reported 29. …
The world-class university was also found to have ill-defined the boundaries of its campus, leaving crimes committed at the Yale-New Haven Hospital out, which is used by medical school teachers and students. …

How far do they need to go back? Would they need to investigate rapes involving people in the law school going back to the 1970’s?
I’m torn on this. If there’s a law requiring it, Yale shouldn’t have fudged, period. But shouldn’t this be a matter for public police reports. Why anyone would complain of being a victim of such a crime to campus police and NOT to the city police too is beyond my immediate understanding.
“Harvard reported 80 sex offenses in 2000-2002.”
They left out the most important statistics.
How many criminal prosecutions?
I’ll bet 5 or less.
I’ll bet no student went to jail.
I’ll bet only 1 or 2 students were sued in civil court.
If you accept Title IV funding from the feds (Pell Grants, I think), then you have to report crime statistics to a specific govt. website. This is to allow people to have an idea of the odds of being murdered if they choose to enroll at that particular school.
There is a strong wall between campus and city cops. It exists to keep college kids from getting into actual legal trouble.
colleges should not be exempt from the laws
Do they allow guns on campus?
...never mind.
This is wrong. Real people committed this crime. Instead of fining the institution, individuals should have been charged. It’s just like the robo signing mess. Individuals should be doing time for fraud.
Back then, New Haven was fine. Now it is a cesspool.
Guess the powers that be call that "progress".
