"The Rape School", University of Virginia.
Long read, but important.

Tiny snip:
"Eventually, UVA furnished Rolling Stone with some of its most recent tally: In the last academic year, 38 students went to Eramo about a sexual assault, up from about 20 students three years ago.
However, of those 38, only nine resulted in "complaints"; the other 29 students evaporated.
Of those nine complaints, four resulted in Sexual Misconduct Board hearings.
UVA wasn't willing to disclose their outcomes, citing privacy.
Like most colleges, sexual-assault proceedings at UVA unfold in total secrecy.
Asked why UVA doesn't publish all its data, President Sullivan explains that it might not be in keeping with "best practices" and thus may inadvertently discourage reporting.
Jackie got a different explanation when she'd eventually asked Dean Eramo the same question.
She says Eramo answered wryly, "Because nobody wants to send their daughter to the rape school."
