Recently one of the pediatric residents at my hospital was found watching child pornography in the call room. After being reported, the institution did nothing about it, and tried to sweep it under the rug. It bothers me that a prestigious academic institution would rather save face than to deal with a serious issue at hand.
- mixmastamyk 13y agoCall the police and/or social services. The article doesn't mention the police either, wtf? Surely they did an investigation?
- gchpaco 13y agoJurisdiction is funny on universities. UCSB (one I have personal experience with) has a special campus police branch that overlaps somewhat with the Isla Vista branch but are nominally distinct; I don't think the county's sheriff's department has any jurisdiction there.

- kevinnk 13y agoAssuming we're talking about the "other" UofM, I would hardly call what happened "doing nothing about it." It was almost certainly an egregious failure on the part of a couple individuals, but it was more about a lapse in protocol then a university cover up. Not to mention that UofM has completed two separate independent reviews of what happened and made a pretty big (and public) effort to fix it.
