Scandall

Fifteenth Jane Doe joins lawsuit against Baylor University, KCEN, A fifteenth person has joined those suing Baylor University for its widely reported mishandling of rape and sexual assault.

Monson: Stopping sexual assault against women begins with an institutional change of attitude - The Salt Lake Tribune, The phone call still haunts me.

It came after I wrote a column some 20 years ago suggesting that then-Utah basketball coach Rick Majerus stop his recruitment of a high school athlete who had pleaded guilty to a sexual assault charge. .

Majerus ended the recruitment. But before he did, I received that nameless call after the column’s publication from a woman who said she disagreed with my position on the matter. She said the recruitment was OK, the player was talented. And then, she called me naive. She said, and I’ll never forget the words: “ . . . You don’t know? That’s just the way the world is.”

Enough, then.

A new attitude, one with proper muscle behind it, at every school, in every department, in every organization, on every team, across the land must be installed. Abuse happens in many instances because of ignorance and entitlement, because perps believe they can commit such acts without consequence.

Like the phone caller, they think that’s the way the world is.

If it is, damn it all to hell, let’s change it.
