University may expel rape victim for speaking out

The unchecked evil of the disaster capitalists continues.

The University of North Carolina, a state-supported institution, is threatening to expel a student all because she talked to the media about the fact that she was raped. The university is accusing her of violating the school's honor code - even though she did not name the rapist.

The potential expulsion appears to be retaliatory. The university is upset about negative press resulting from their shoddy handling of the rape complaint. The school's honor court also told the student that she violated the honor code just by reporting the rape.

This is just the latest example of how some universities have a pattern of covering up serious crime and keeping students who commit crimes out of the court system if they have a lot of clout.

Predictably, Tea Party types have commented on other websites blaming the victim.
