If we've learned anything from the unraveling of Rolling Stone's now-retracted story about an alleged rape and cover-up at a University of Virginia frat a couple of years ago, it's that we need to slow down the rush to judgment until we're in possession of sufficient verifiable information to form solid conclusions. Students at Virginia staged protest marches too — about what turned out to be a false story. As though oblivious to recent history, the Northwestern community has become a walking demonstration of what the commission that later investigated the Rolling Stone story slammed as "confirmation bias" — that is, forming conclusions in advance of the facts to justify our biases. In other words, if we believe that campus culture is a rape culture, then any rape allegation has to be true.
