To the Editor:
Finally, it appears as if the McCormick rape case is finished. It has been a most unfortunate experience for everyone involved, especially this young man who can't have gained very much from his lawsuit.
As Brown looks ahead, I am hoping the administration is asking questions about what can be learned from the case. The questions I am asking are:
1. What can be done to increase the safety of women on campus who have always been at a disadvantage when faced with male sexual aggression?
2. How can Brown students be better educated about what the University's response will be as a consequence of rape charges?
3. If a Brown student is charged with rape, what responsibility does the administration have to ensure that the student is offered mental health treatment, and that the risk of his acting out again in society at large is contained?
