It was like she was in some kind of totalitarian re-education camp. Not allowed to leave until she had thoroughly ingested the party line and was of no danger to the reputation of the institution.

I read a book recently about a woman who was raped on a college campus back in the 80's and how she was treated (very similarly but at a different university), and how the horrific crime came back to haunt her life many years later. It was "Crash Into Me" by Liz Seccuro. The similarity in the actions of the colleges these women attended once they told of their rape is so similar that it makes me wonder if there isn't a book out there somewhere on how to shut up a co-ed that wants to dare to demand justice and decent treatment after her rape instead of blaming herself and keeping quiet like a good little girl.

Disgusting!
