Stanford’s Many Dubious Sexual Assault Claims

"Stanford has joined Yale as one of the only two American universities required by the federal government to outline its campus sexual assault adjudications, and both offer grim statistics that don’t hold up to much rational analysis.

The current Stanford report appeared over the pen of Stanford Law Professor Kathleen Sullivan. It contends that Stanford is an extremely dangerous campus (about at the level of danger as Yale)—with 30 rapes listed in the 2016-2017 academic year. For comparison’s sake, this means that the Stanford campus had more rapes in one academic year as did the city of Palo Alto in the last four years combined. Stanford isn’t an island: if these figures were anywhere near accurate, it would mean the Stanford campus should be the Palo Alto Police Department’s number one priority."
