Rolling Stone does a story about a fraternity raping people, which isn’t true and the UVA bans the fraternity and the UVA now claims it is the victim??????????????????????????

I’m guessing UVA and the associate dean are being sued by the frat, and this a way of seeking 3rd party liability.

Regardless, its a liberal vs. liberal feeding frenzy, and worthy of some popcorn.

Not UVA. This particular person, who was in the story by name and was essentially portrayed as they story's true villain as the "establishment figure" who tries to get "Jackie" to not make a big deal over the incident.

All of which was complete B.S. They even used a doctored photo of her.

Of all the possible plaintiffs, she actually has the best case because she was directly and personally identified. There was enough ambiguity over the identities of the others in the story that proving damages will be more difficult for them.

and UVA now claims it is the victim?

actually, RS managed to victimize UVA, this assoc. dean, as well as the accused fraternity and the entire frat system at UVA which was shut down for a while. There should be several lawsuits generated by this story - but this particular lawsuit is strictly a liberal-on-liberal affair. While the Assoc. Dean seems to have been a pretty upstanding character in this story, she did contribute and went along with some of the stupid leftist narratives that drove this whole crazy episode.
