On-Line Bullying By Law Students

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook

See this post at the Law School Academic Support Blog. Via the Leiter Law School Reports, where Brian Leiter notes:

One putatively prelaw discussion board–memorably described in the comments here as the place where “the amount of racism, anti-semitism, and extreme aggression borders on psychotic” ( Kiwi Camara is the poster boy for interracial comity by comparison!)–has frequently included threads naming female law students and/or prelaw students accompanied by threats of rape and sexual assault, as well as defamatory statements about their sexual activity. I’ve heard from several of the victimized students who told me that the owners of the site (including a Penn law student) do not respond to requests to remove this material. Until law schools and/or Character & Fitness Committees start responding to this creepy phenomenon, the problem is likely to get worse.
