My issue with "amnesty" is that at some point there WILL be someone who tries to

The rape defense has been around for ages. No system is going to be perfect

Should be, but aren't. Noone wants to even LOOK like they're going after victims

LeftOfNormal

7/28/16 10:34pm

The question is: Is your scenario either more frequent or more damaging than the one where an actual rape victim keeps

Based on what evidence?

Also fair, but there's got to be a way where a false accusation can't be used as

You have to provide double amnesty, pending a criminal investigation. The

But again, at that point, who CARES what the HC will and won't be investigating

Bottom line for me is that if you're a dude, you should assume any physical

Or...make sure its on video.

boogers

7/28/16 10:41pm

Not the worst idea, honestly.

TaiJuan

7/28/16 10:44pm

That is nice in theory, but not very effective

7/29/16 2:02am

Again, you know the rape defense has been around for ages for the sex right?

7/28/16 10:41pm

This changes incentives in a major way. There's no downside to a false report.

TaiJuan

7/28/16 10:52pm

A false rape accusation is not a little fudge. It does change the incentive,

If you can tell the HCO one thing and the cops another you can have you cake and

There's just not a good answer. "False accusations should be prosecuted to the

Would he get kicked out of UVU? I doubt it

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:33pm

Maybe he is, maybe not. Maybe he drops out to work to pay for his lawyer.

LeftOfNormal

7/28/16 10:37pm

Wait now she is making false reports to the police not just to the HCO?

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:40pm

Yes, I assumed that was clear. One doesn't typically go to the HCO to report a

Your scenario was that the HCO came to the student with a complaint from the

7/28/16 10:57pm

Apologies. I should have clarified. I figured it was assumed that if one levies

LeftOfNormal

7/28/16 11:00pm

Can you honestly offer amnesty to someone who is good enough to tell the HCO it

TaiJuan

7/28/16 11:01pm

Which is why it's ludicrous that the office is even investigating kissing

titlecoug

7/28/16 10:33pm

I agree, but who knows WHAT the well-meaning roommate said. All the girl knows

LeftOfNormal

7/28/16 10:39pm

The HC enforcement is the root of the problem. Amensty will just make women

boogers

7/28/16 10:39pm

I support amnesty in principle, but it's gonna be a clusteryewt for dudes down

TaiJuan

7/28/16 10:43pm

Do you think it will actually increase false reporting?

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:45pm

Absolutely.

boogers

7/28/16 10:46pm

i don't see how the incentive is significantly increased.

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:48pm

Yes. You can't say that granting amnesty won't change incentives, and that's

TaiJuan

7/28/16 10:48pm

How much do you think they increase? How much will actual rape reporting

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:51pm

First, how many rapes are NOT reported.

boogers

7/28/16 10:55pm

I would say more than are falsely reported

concolor couguar

7/28/16 10:58pm

But that's in a system that doesn't provide the same incentives for falsificatn

TaiJuan

7/28/16 11:04pm

There I agree with you. This would be much simpler if the HCO's enforcement were severely curtailed

Nikomedes

7/28/16 10:55pm

Once again, amensty is not the issue in this scenario. It is the honor code

Baron

7/28/16 10:36pm

So the HC now prohibits kissing? How quaint

CougarThug

7/28/16 10:39pm

Again, that's fair, but it's the situation people could be put in, until the HC

LeftOfNormal

7/28/16 10:43pm

It is a situation that always existed. You could always lie to put the blame on

Baron

7/28/16 10:46pm

HC is the problem

Such a weird thing to worry about. Seriously.
