OP/ED: Chronicle of Higher Education Leaves Out High Profile Victim 81 Rape Case

Amherst, MA: Feb. 3 (ECM)—The Chronicle of Higher Education in their Jan. 23, 2015 article “When Does Unwanted Sex Become Rape” gave rather short shift very high profile Victim 81 rape case which ended in acquittal for University of Montana Grizzlies quarterback Jordan Johnson.

—wherefrom the U.S. Department of Justice uncovered 81 reported rapes on the U of M campus within three years, no such word on what the rape statistic is at the U of M for the past twenty years?

But more importantly, the Chronicle ignores similar sexual exploitation of students by university faculty and focuses on student on student sex crimes alone. In particular, the Chronicle ignored the sexual exploitation of students by University of Montana professor Hayden W. Ausland, a professed neo-Nazi, who once told me that he could: “rape you without even touching you…up your shirt and down your pants…bend over and grab you ankles…right here right now in my office.”

Such attacks on students would not be so bad except for the fact that through the complaint process the student is trashed in the process. Their career in higher education is ruined forever, no matter where they choose to attend, on the grounds that they “once filed a complaint.” In my case, against a teacher.

In the end of it all, Robin Wilson’s article about campus rape really comes out to be a non-issue. Thereby creating an overall failure of the Chronicle to address this most important issue: retaliatory attacks by faculty against students for making rape or sexual harassment complaints which lasts a lifetime—which includes not only verbal harassment by faculty at new institutions attended, but also damage to grades, and even violence which continues for years, effectively removing the student from higher education forever with its associated economic impact on the victim.
