After reading the articles that we were given it really made me realize how much sexual harassment cases happen on college campuses. At Notre Dame there were people that told the girl to not mess with Notre Dame football because of how high and mighty these student athletes are treated and they also told her that she wouldn't be believed because of how the athletes are treated. After reading about this is many different articles it showed me how much athletes are actually treated more relaxed than any other person. Just like in Steubenville, the two boys are able to just sit around at their home because they don't have any evidence that they actually did sexually assult a girl even though there are plently of eye witnesses. This really angered me because I think that the police should do their job and stop crimes regardless of who the law enforcement is dealing with. The Deerfield Police would not be okay with anyone doing any sort of crime in Deerfield, so why should it be acceptable in any other place? Especially with something so terrible as sexual assult. What I don't understand is that The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill can even have the heart to deny reports about something so serious. I understand that there are some false reports but to reject the idea that it even happened is rude and it shows why women that are raped have a hard time telling people that they have been assulted. A few months ago the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity at Indiana University was kicked off of campus for rape charges. This shows that there is some hope with colleges and dealing with sexual assult accusations and that they are not going to take the charges lightly.
