Look, I’m sure there are decent, responsibly run frats. But frats are the epicenter of sexual assault on campuses across the country. Something has to be done to stop it, and efforts to train people, impose rules, and post monitors have not worked. It’s time for stronger measures.

DrDinD.bsky.social@drdind.bsky.social · 5d ago

Subsequent reporting shows the victim and person of interest were not U Chicago students. The national fraternity has condemned sexual assault. However, the fact that it happened in a fraternity is consistent with lax oversight of parties at frats and a cultural permission for sexual impropriety.

Fully agree with @senangusking.bsky.social that the Trump administration has dangerously diminished US ability to deter major conflicts, emboldened Russian aggression.
