Do you really think that the students at Duke are not more inclined to disbelieve claims of rape now?

I didn't say that particular case was in house.
I don't know what information the professors had that made them automaticly side with the alledged victim. I'm not privy to the thought in their heads.
but I do know its good when a professor makes it clear that they are anti-rape and will defend victims not attackers.
it was the girl who hurt many other actual victims by expanding the myth that most rapes only happen in people's imaginations.
I think it was her and not the professors who caused rape victims to be disbelieved.
