Why the cops don't get called for campus sexual assaults.

How does it make sense that universities are responsible for adjudicating sexual assaults on campus? Well, Title IX and US Supreme Court rulings dating back to the 1970s.

What Alexander helped to establish, then, is that campus rape is not just a crime but also an impediment to a continued education—and to subsequent success in the workplace and public life.

If sexual violence goes unaddressed at universities, women will face unconscionable obstacles to education, professional success and full citizenship.
