Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2064673, member: 6761"] wise, as always, UcMiami. The fact, FanHame, is that all statistics about assault are a guess, and I agree with UcMiami that we shouldn't inculpate Baylor as having a higher rape culture just because of discovery. The issue in discovery about rape culture (and we need to appreciate that there is one sexual assault of men for every 3 of women, so that needs to be acknowledged as well) is heavily conditioned by reporting: both reporting by the victim to the university and then the university's assessment of that reported incident and its own report in turn. So, absolutely, we can't say for certain that anyone's number of actual assaults are higher than other schools. The link below was much discussed on the BY earlier, because UConn (along with Brown) led the nation in [I][B]reporting[/B][/I] assaults. But even here, interpreting what the data means--assuming it accurately reflects something--is messy. Some universities have much larger graduate student populations and I wonder whether sexual assault is as prevalent within that population. If not, it skews the statistics about percentage of assaults and therefore of reported assaults. And of course, some college cultures are more activist than others, and those student populations are more emboldened to report their assaults.

She absolutely needs to apologize and reframe what she means, because she defended the indefensible. [/QUOTE]
