UA officials ignored rape, student says

When Rebecca Isaac tried to punish the man she said raped her, she said the university turned its back on her. Two years later, the creative writing and political science senior is fighting to put a sexual assault provision in the codes of conduct at universities nationwide. "I've had friends say, 'go to the U of A - rape is allowed there,'" Isaac said. "It 's important to show we don't allow this on our campus." Isaac said she was raped two years ago at a fraternity party, and charges that discrepancies in the UA's code of conduct allowed the alleged rapist to go virtually unpunished.    [More]

Then, there is some foot stomping, hand clapping, finger snapping and noise shouting as the blanketed silence in McKale Center is broken.    [More]

Editorial: Lack of rape provision in UA code is disgusting
[news] Rape is allowed at the UA. At least that's what Rebecca Isaac gathered from her experience trying to punish a student who she said raped her at a 1998 fraternity party. Isaac, like the vast majority of women who are sexually assaulted, was not comfortable going to the police. She said she was disgusted and hurt and scared, and turned to her university for help, protection and justice.    [More]
