If you'd been through what someone close to me has been through wrt false
accusations and student status, your view might be more cynical as well.

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

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

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

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

Not the worst idea, honestly.

That is nice in theory, but not very effective

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

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

7/28/16 10:52pm
A false rape accusation is not a little fudge. It does change the incentive,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do you think it will actually increase false reporting?
concolor couguar
7/28/16 10:45pm
Absolutely.

7/28/16 10:46pm
i don't see how the incentive is significantly increased.

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

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

First, how many rapes are NOT reported.

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

So the HC now prohibits kissing? How quaint

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

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