Parents of Columbia University student who accused classmate of rape rip school for lack of action
Senior Emma Sulkowicz is carrying around a mattress to protest the school's inaction in her case. Her parents criticized the 'prolonged, degrading and ultimately fruitless process' in an open letter to the Columbia Spectator.
In an open letter to the Columbia Spectator published on Thursday, doctors Sandra Leong and Kerry J. Sulkowicz ripped the school for its "prolonged, degrading and ultimately fruitless process" regarding their daughter's case.
"If Columbia remains passive in the face of Emma’s suffering, and does not attempt to rectify the injustice done to her, survivors at Columbia will feel discouraged from entrusting themselves to the system that Columbia has recently worked so hard at putting into place," the parents write in the letter

If the NYDN wants to carry a story like this, they should also include facts that readers might find relevant. The young lady in question did not file a police complaint until long after reporting the alleged rape to Columbia, and she only did that 9 months after the fact. Consequently, there is no physical evidence and there are also no witnesses to the alleged rape. I believe rapists should face severe penalties, but not without proof. There seems to be none here aside from she-said-he-said.
