Re:Yale Covers for Rapists on Thursday August 01, 2013 @05:15PM (#6143593)

Reposted with original link.

This is jaw-droppingly offensive and contributes to an unmistakable pattern of deception and avoidance that makes it damn near impossible for me to conclude that Yale today is anything but a vilely misogynistic, self-regarding institution utterly lacking in moral compass. If the Yale community wishes to restore the good name of a once great American institution, it should demand the immediate resignation of the current leadership. It has been on their watch (as well as that of their immediate predecessors) that rape and sexual assault have been so thoroughly trivialized, so it is high time they are held to account.

Thanks, Brad, for the feedback. We addressed many of the bugs people found in prior releases, but will look into this spreadsheet issue (perhaps you could describe it in a bit more detail at feedback.collections.me?). As for the site, please refresh and it'll self-correct, but we're aware of that bug and are working to make sure it never happens.
