A column by Timothy Tyson says:
My first job after getting my Duke Ph.D. was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I taught for 10 years. Wisconsin is the un-Duke: a public school in the Midwest with 40,000 students. But this matter of women getting sexually assaulted by classmates did not change. It was not just a Duke thing.
One of my students at Madison was raped by a highly touted running back and one of his friends. She had dated him before. She let the two men into her apartment. The violence that followed seared her soul. I walked her to classes for two weeks afterward because she was afraid to leave home. The district attorney thought it was “too confusing” to prosecute. I watched her recover, graduate, complete her doctorate and land job offers at major universities across the country. But her pain is still there, eight years later. Not that it matters, but so is mine.
