(55,445 posts)19. Why on earth would she go to the honor court instead of the "real" police?
At least she's shedding more light on one of the dirtier secrets of our American universities -- It's damn near impossible to get expelled...I've known of serial rapists, drug addicts/dealers, burglary rings, repeated drunk drivers, academic cheats, attempted murderers, extortionists, stalkers, etc. who have all made it to graduation day.

Sure, because it's so "evolutionary" in concept. But a 'swerve' here and there might help, as well.
