By the time we arrived at 6:30, the bathrooms had already been scrubbed clean to remove all traces of the writing. Facilities stopwatch personnel and Lerner employees were seen entering and exiting the bathroom, and when questioned, one of them admitted to having recently cleaned the stalls.
Public safety officers stood nearby, suggesting that the writing of the names would be seen as an act of vandalism as previously stopwatch mentioned. However, since students are not required to swipe their IDs to access the bathroom, only security footage would be able to identify the writers.
Unlike the previous list, which was written in different colors and handwriting, this list appears to have been written by a single person. stopwatch The series of events is reminiscent of a similar list of alleged rapists that appeared inside the stalls of various Brown University bathrooms in 1990 . Brown attempted to remove stopwatch each list, but like its Columbia successor, students re-copied the names faster than they could be taken down.
Columbia University did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Daniel Held, Executive Director of Communications for Facilities, stated that the previous incident was being treated as graffiti, which connotes disciplinary and potentially legal consequences for the perpetrator.

Unless you can prove conclusively that the persons whose names have been written on that wall are rapists, the right course of action is to get rid of it. If there is a case built with all those pesky things like evidence and due process, the rapists will be punished by the law, not the U. What you seem to be advocating stopwatch is to treat a list written by an anonymous as evidence of guilt of a horrible crime. I find your way of thinking scary. Link / Reply

Where are the complaints? Where is the evidence for those complaints? Where is the accuser? You seem to be making a huge deal from an anonymous list on a bathroom wall. If you want to accuse someone, you need evidence for that, like it or not. What you call victim blaming the rest of the world calls avoiding libel, slander stopwatch and trying to not send innocent people to prison. Link / Reply
I hereby accuse LOL of being a rapist, a pedophile and a child murderer. I want this accusation to be dealt with right now. If anyone suggests this is not true, it's blaming the accuser. Does that make sense to you? Link / Reply

Sure, stopwatch no problem. Need lists in the men's bathroom of women that are ba***** crazy likely to destroy your life, and should be avoided like the plague. They exist and they should be publicly named and shamed. Turnabout, of anonymous accusations, is fair play, is it not? Link / Reply
You mean that *in theory* you are innocent until proven guilty (in America). In case you hadn't noticed, the slippage between theory and reality (in America) has been growing in recent years. stopwatch Feminism has played a large role in making that happen. Whoever wrote these bathroom wall lists was acting in accord with the feminist script, which holds that men are collectively guilty, of rape or other things. By the feminist reckoning "due process", stopwatch "equal protection", "evidence" and all of that, should be suspended in the case of male transgressions. Link / Reply

yeah, that argument would make sense if the list read, "all the men on campus." but they were names of specific men. also, maybe you should take one of the history classes on offer, do some reading into the history of our justice system, who has historically stopwatch been able to make accusations, give testimony, etc. It may give you some insight into your innocent until proven guilty theory that was the guiding light of justice and equality in this country until them women got their dirty greedy little stopwatch hands on it.

yes, slander can be prosecuted. sadly, not in this case. why you perhaps ask? well, you'll just have to consult your dictionary on that one my friend. man, i used to be proud of going to a prestigious and elite university. and then you showed up. and the 27 people who liked this eloquent point.

1. What kind of idiot reports a rape to a university stopwatch instead of to the police? 2. What kind of idiot thinks blackballing people in a bathroom stall is justice? 3. What kind of idiot thinks protecting a university's reputation is more important than preventing and prose
