This is starting to get to be a slippery slope.
Will universities soon start analyzing the private communications of everyone in the community - not just athletes. Will biology professors be held to the same standards?

they just need to assess that the ratings were fair, much like Gavin did for Harvard's ratings:

Such a double standard! Women gossip like this all the time and rate men too!! But no one bats an eye!!! It's just that women are seen as the weaker sex (I will be called misogynist just for staying this truth)...and thus easy to compose a victim complex towards them.

It's different to talk between friends because there isn't any evidence. Once you write an email there is evidence and if the school does not take action they will get massacred.
It's no wonder millennials can't keep jobs. They like to email everything for everyone to see and use against them. If you have some dumb stuff to talk about, go outside and get lunch and talk about how hot or not every girl on the team is.
I'm 27 and I follow this advice. -

That is very clever. Who is that guy? Is he on a tv show?
These whole email scandals are kind of interesting from an intellectual standpoint. I mean facebook - think of the name - facebook - was based on judging people on the looks of their face.
At Princeton, we had a real facebook with everyone's name, hometown and headshot that the University gave us when we enrolled.
Clearly, we all subconsciously rate people on looks. If you talk about who you think is hot in the dorm, you are fine. But when you start doing it on email, watch out as its very easy for it to turn into misogyny. -

Oh, you are such a victim!
Sorry, but it really is easy to compose a victim complex toward you.
Honest question - When you were a kid did you always dream of being a victim when you grew up? -

Right now, Yale and some of the other Ivy Leaguers are feeling pretty left out. They would love something like this to prove that they're PC, too! If you're at Darmouth or Yale, you better believe someone is going through all of your emails right now looking for ANYTHING they can drag through the media to make you look like a racist bigot.

Everyone with a brain knows not to treat email as private communication. An email can be forwarded, printed and left somewhere, pulled up on someone's screen and seen by anyone who walks by, etc. That's why every student is told not to put anything in an email that they wouldn't put on a postcard that would be sent without an envelope.
Yes, if a biology professor put something offensive in an email and that email got passed along to the wrong person, the prof would be in hot water. -

Do you think they could include anything written by alumni of Princeton?
That will be fun. -

I don't think you know what "misogyny" means. -

Based on the doping scandal, this scenario is actually more believable than all of the college sports teams being full of scheming racists and misogynists. -

As the Boston mobsters used to say: don't write when you can speak, don't speak when you can nod, don't nod when you can wink.
Curiously to me in all this is that no football teams have had their seasons ended. Guess they're too smart for such shenanigans. -

Football teams are black. Swim teams are white. -

It's called parody. Comedians often make us very uncomfortable but most of them are actually brilliant. The idea that he'd actually have the guts to do that is what I'm giving him props for.
I was recently judged on my looks in a national publication. I was called a "Texan Hugh Grant." Since it's a compliment, I'll take it.
