Virginia Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw Rips UVA and Its "Crap" on Sexual Assault (11/24/14)

At the Falls Church City Council meeting on Monday, 11/24/14.

A few more points by Virginia Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw (D) regarding the Rolling Stone article on a vicious gang rape at UVA, and more broadly on the culture of UVA in general:

*"The reason these kids don't come forward is they know the university's total dedication is to sweeping everything under the rug"
*"Had that same kid been off campus and not a student at UVA, he'd be pulling 40 years in prison in Virginia, not walking across the stage with a diploma..."
*"What parent in their right mind would send a daughter to UVA when she's got...a 20 percent chance, a 20 percent chance of being sexually assaulted?"
*"And they've essentially told every male, particularly those on fraternity row, it always has been and still is open season on females"
