I’ve been a horrible blogger these past few days (I had to go out of town at the last minute.)

This story “Duke rape case still splits faculty” about Duke University’s reputation after the rape story (scandal) broke out got me thinking.

Some questions that came to my mind:

• If something similar happened at my university (and it surely did), would I have been protective of the school if questioned by the media?
• Would I be defensive in public but critical in private mediums such as internet threads where one can post anonymously (except to the webmasters.)
• Would I want to bring it to the attention of the media?

I don’t have an answer right now but I hope to reach some conclusions.

And let me state here that I believe any unwanted sexual advances toward either sex is a crime.  Any sort of forced penetration is rape.
