Documentary about sexual assault of college students

Post Reply New Topic

This is a documentary called The Hunting Ground, about the prevalence of sexual assault of college students in the US, and the failure of school administrations to do anything about it. If you have a cable or satellite provider account you can log in on the CNN website to watch it for free.

I would really urge anyone to watch this who is new at college, planning to attend college soon, or has a child planning to attend college.

Also from ESPN, here is a roundtable discussion with the filmmakers that focuses on how college athletes are protected from rape allegations.

Covering up sexual assault seems to be an epidemic with all kinds of colleges in the US...large, small, state-run, private, Ivy League, religious, etc. I am curious if things are different in other countries, or do colleges in other countries have similar problems?
