It's actually completely different in the US - our student support services are a pretty unique model from the vast majority of institutions in the world — it's part of the reason they are some of the best in the world. I'm specifically trained in sexual assualt on college campuses.

Well, duh. It's federally mandated that campuses must inform and offer students all three resources; campus resources, criminal investigation, civil court. So, I don't get your point.

It's actually the result of concrete change in law and enforcement of Title IX. So yeah. If only Jez did better Title IX reporting.

Cornell is being incredibly proactive. Mary Beth Grant has done some wonderful work there.

Rape is a serious code violation. When you matriculate at a college you agree to abide by their code of conduct wherein a possible sanction for sexual assault is dismissal. And that's a directive from the White House.

If a student has murdered someone they have broken the code of conduct and would be judicially dismissed. The police can't go in and be like hey—dismiss this student—only the college can do so. Only the college can issue no contact orders. The school also controls on campus housing and scheduling.

Thank you. Callie's been handling the stories and she's not as well versed in higher ed practice as she thinks she is. The reporting is terrible.

Cornell's been incredibly proactive. Honestly, most of them just have terrible administration.

That's because you want to look for discourse analysis. My argument also has nothing to do with correlation between class and culture. You just strawmaned it.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Or ya know..

A cigar is never just a cigar. Where does it come from? Who made it? Were pesticides used. That all tells you a story about the cigar.

Because I'm trained as a fucking sociolinguist. So, like, this is the shit I studied and frankly language has a huge social justice component.

Meh. I enjoy using curse words as I like to challenge people's aversion to class based vernacular.

The .gif on this article gives me life.

Baby-birding is actually the thing I'm least judging. It's pretty common for moms to do it—it's a bit easier for the wee ones just engaging in solids.

Meh. Humans have always been self-indulged/self-absorbed. Now we're simply way more aware of it.

Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart

I can only assume Gregory is shilling for the Democrats because that's the kind of stupidity that will rile people up to vote.

In 2012 Mittens became the grandfather of 18 when Tagg's family had twins in the midst of the Presidential race. I think Hillary will be fine.
