"UVA has experienced turbulent times over sexual assaults recently. In March 2004, Susan Russell, the mother of a victimized UVA student launched the website uvavictimsofrape.com. Although nearly 60 rapes had been reported at the school over the previous five years, no predator had been expelled or even suspended from the school for sexual assault, while 38 had been expelled for 'honor' offenses such as cheating or stealing. 'You get kicked out for stealing a pencil, but you can stay if you rape someone?' asked Russell. 'It just makes no sense.'"
