The Grave Mishandling of Campus Rape
In the wake of a shocking sexual violence incident at the University of Virginia, the school has suspended all fraternity activity until January. But will curbing frat life put a stop to sexual assault? Jed Rubenfeld, professor of criminal law at Yale Law School, co-author of The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America (Penguin Press HC, 2014), and Sabrina Rubin Erdely, Rolling Stone contributing editor, talk about the legal and cultural problems with how colleges currently handle sexual assault on campus.

Jed Rubenfeld says colleges should not adjudicate rape cases. Even if rapists are expelled, that leaves them free to commit more crimes.

Narcissism and entitlement play a huge role in sexual assault, says @SabrinaRErdely.
