Columbia University is coming forward addressing the controversy surrounding an alleged rapist list which surfaced in an on-campus restroom. Columbia released a statement saying:

“To avoid chilling complainants from coming forward and to respect all parties involved, the university does not comment on the particulars of disciplinary proceedings regarding sexual misconduct.”

This comes after a number of alleged victims came forward claiming they had been sexually assaulted on campus. Columbia University has been criticized for not doing enough to punish the alleged rapists.
