This was also in the report, but you neglected to mention it.  And one study source by an "intern" does not wipe out all other studies that have been conducted.  
   
 "Rape and sexual assault victimizations of students (80%) were more likely than nonstudent victimizations (67%) to go unreported to police."  
   
 I witnessed plenty of BS during my college years and the way I see young men behave toward young girls today is disgusting for the most part.  If I ever hear my son speak to a female the way most young men do these days, I'll wash his mouth out with soap right on the spot.    
   
 Young people have gotten way out of hand when it comes to respecting others and it's time to get them back on a good path.  This starts at home with parents who know how to treat others in a respectful manner and instill this in their children.  
   
 Wake up America, our kids are fucking up in a big way.  Just look at the elementary students who are dying on a regular basis...did you have to worry about your school getting shot up while you were growing up?  I didn't, and it makes me sick to my stomach that my kids have to learn how to hide from a shooter in a Kindergarten classroom.  
   
 

The study was not conducted by an intern. The study was conducted by Dr. Lynn Langton, a statistician with the Department of Justice.  She earned a Phd. in criminology from  the University of Florida.    If a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice into the rate of crime is not credible to you, then what is?    
   
 I did note that students victims of sexual assault are more likely (80%) than non-students (67%)to not report the assault, however that has no bearing on the number of assaults that occurred.  The rate of 6.1 assaults per 1,000 relates to the number of assaults which respondents to the survey said occurred.   The students are saying that they did not report 80% of 6.1 per 1,000 rate.  
   
 In addition, the study took place over the time period of 1995 to 2013, so the numbers are not the result of a point in time oddity.  
   
 Again the common statistic thrown about is 1 in 5 female students are raped during their college career.  This study indicates that rate is nearly 33 times higher that what actually occurs.  
   
 A rapist should be castrated.  
   
 Innocent young men should not be punished by the kangaroo courts being forced down the throats of colleges under the auspices of Title IX.  
   
 Under the Title IX format:  
 The accused male student can be found guilty of sexual assault via a "preponderance of the evidence" standard versus "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard in criminal matters.  
 He is unable to be represented by counsel in the hearings.  
 He is unable to cross-examine his accuser.  
 He is unable to call witnesses on his behalf.  
 His "guilt" or "innocence" is determined by faculty and students at the college who have not had training or experience sexual assault cases.  
   
 Earlier this year, a Duke University senior was accused of sexual assault 3 days before final exams.  The Dean's list student was never accused or convicted in a criminal proceeding was expelled from school.  A judged ordered him reinstated, so he could complete final exams.   He is now suing Duke to have his degree awarded.  (The cost of attending Duke for 4 years is over $250,000.)  
   
 I do not understand why colleges should be in the business of prosecuting sexual assault cases.  We have a court system for a reason and this type of extra-judicial punishment leads to injustices.    
   
 Castrate rapists, but do not punish people who have done nothing wrong.
