Kudos to the school for supporting both Will in speaking and the students in protesting.

“the dubious sociology” behind the definition of sexual assault
Your “victimhood a coveted status” line claims the dubious sociology crown, George.
Also dubious, your implication that the important problem with sexual assaults on/near campuses is that the definition of the act is unclear or (in George’s mind) not based on sound sociology.
The problem is that sexual assaults are so common on and near campuses. It is not reasonable to expect zero assaults, but a good goal of public policy would be for students to be able to attend college with no more concern about sexual assault than they have when shopping for groceries.
