ESPN reports that UT got off cheap. Paid the women 2.48 M and admitted no negligence. I guess they were only "extremely careless".
Shame on the females for accepting this or was there really no merit?
You're entitled to your opinion but I don't see it the same way. If they were making a point that the school should be held accountable, then I just think taking the hush money was weak.Merit or not, when given the choice of cash to shut up and go away, or to have many more months of your name in the public arena for being used in that environment, many will want it to just go away and will accept the cash as a way to calm their sense of being violated. It's easy for us who are not the victims to stand and demand TN be accountable, but for the victims taking such a stand will have a heavier toll. I respect the women's decision, but wish to hell that UT was held accountable not for civil damages to individuals (that could accept payments and go away) but to society for creating such an environment, where criminal charges would be in effect.
What an effing joke. Shame on the females for accepting this or was there really no merit?
