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.

Lifted from comments at Jezebel:

FrothingLiberalUKatie J.M. Baker41L How dare Yale not give delicate little snowflakes the unilateral ability to expel any male student with a false rape claim!

Although if a student were actually raped, she might want to consider something called "the police"

------

I'll note that rape claims may also be made by men against women, or alternatively oriented relationships.

As I don't expect even-handed coverage from Jezbel, can anybody answer whether

a) this applies to someone convicted in court of rape? b) what are standard university policies about other felonies (ie does someone get expelled for being convicted of assault?)
