...court has called a 12-line "he said, she-said" exchange. Further, Schaer's supporters accuse Brandeis of allowing the presentation of prejudicial testimony, such as a statement by a police officer who saw Schaer's accuser a month after the incident and said that she "looked like a rape victim" or the assertion by one witness that Schaer was "a self-motivated egotistical bastard who had no respect for women...
...issue of fact-finding, however, is more complicated. Rape and sexual misconduct are some of the most serious offenses that universities encounter, and the only outcome more upsetting than the evasion of punishment by a guilty party would be the false conviction of an innocent student. Furthermore, although they may be perfectly competent to make determinations of fact in questions of academic dishonesty or the like, university committees are not adequately equipped to conduct fact-finding for offenses that could constitute serious crimes.

...Katie: There is a tendency for female students to act like men in order to gain power. It becomes more difficult for women to speak about vulnerability. Women who want to be senators or CEOs think, “maybe I shouldn’t report the rape. People will find out I was weak.” Women at Brigham Young University can’t speak out because sex is an action against the church. Women at Harvard are fighting to become part of the patriarchy. They put up with the rules...
