"Everyone creates the thing they dread."




  



UVA reinstates frat after police find no proof of rape described in Rolling Stone article | The Rundown | PBS NewsHour: "The Rolling Stone story detailed an account by a woman nicknamed “Jackie” of being gang raped at Phi Kappa Psi and described a culture of violence against women at the university. The story led the university to suspend all fraternities from Nov. 22 to Jan. 9 while police investigated the allegations. Rolling Stone came under fire for the story after contributing editor Sabrina Rubin Erdely seemed to sidestep questions about whether she had contacted Jackie’s alleged attackers. This, along with doubts over the identity of the men Jackie described and disputes about the timeline of events, led critics to doubt the veracity of the story. Rolling Stone said they no longer stood behind the story in a Dec. 5 note to readers. Rolling Stone Managing Editor Will Dana wrote: “In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie’s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced.”"

Cops Say Nothing Happened at UVA Frat Accused of Gang Rape, But Who Really Cares? - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "No apology? No sorry about our huge mistake and rush to judgment? Keep in mind that the false accusation had consequences for the Phi Psi house, which was vandalized by angry students after Rolling Stone's story broke. UVA President Teresa Sullivan caved to public pressure to make some display of force against the frat; I would think she should be more contrite, since she was dead wrong."





"Jake: Did she say where they went? Eve: She said they passed the dynamic something project and then turned behind the blobbity-blah-blah math theory thingie. 
Jake: Two lefts, then a right. 

Morgan le Fay: You’re a Librarian? Oh, Guardian, sorry. I’ll talk slower."
