The outrageous suspension of University of Massachusetts at Amherst football coach Mark Whipple for using the term "rape" to describe a football play this past weekend is an example of how colleges are falling apart.
Rape is an overused word when it doesn't describe sexual violence. But it actually does have other meanings, including "an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse."
A scheduled appearance by former radio host Garrison Keillor at a fund-raising event for a book festival in Vermont was canceled after expressions of outrage over Keillor's past treatment of women who worked for his show A Prairie Home Companion.
Keillor, 76, has been accused of acting in a sexually suggestive manner around female employees while he was worked for Minnesota Public Radio. He has denied wrongdoing.
