Ms. Erdely was more discerning about several people whom she was able to interview for the article than they knew she would be; all of them now have a personal interest in making her pay for her objectivity in the court of public opinion.
I also think that it ought to be obvious to everyone that the University of Virginia was, and is planning to continue to be, villainous with or without Ms. Eramo.
I think that people should stop attacking Jackie; particularly the older adults need to stop blaming her to get out of their predicament.
These are my thoughts today about the University of Virginia and Rolling Stone.
I think that my stress levels are high enough, about my situation, the conglomerate and this case, that it could be that I should respect how upset I am and try to leave things to the professionals, at least for the weekend.
Before I try to do that, I want to quote the Rolling Stone article:
"S. Daniel Carter, who as former director of public policy for the advocacy group Clery Center for Security on Campus is a national expert on college safety, points out that UVA's sexual assault problems are not much worse than other schools; if anything, he says, the depressing reality is that UVA's situation is likely the norm. Decades of awareness programming haven't budged the prevalence of campus rape: One in five women is sexually assaulted in college, though only about 12 percent report it to police."
