#2Nice way of writing the article -- the narrative in the first half makes us believe Clougherty's side, while the second half shows the other side of the story.

#3While rape at universities is a pressing issue in 2015, I find this article almost repulsive. Oh, I feel so bad for Clougherty and Lonsdale, and all of your lawsuits that will ruin your career at Stanford and in academia and in Silicon Valley. Surely, no one will take either of you seriously for the rest of your life, now that you're social activists. It must've taken a great deal of courage to let the New York Times know all about your affluent childhood modeling careers and your successful Silicon Valley ventures. That night must've destroyed both of your accomplishments in one swift blow. Now run along, go back to Silicon Valley and Stanford where your problems aren't seen by enough people. Such are the woes of men and women everywhere, aren't they?

#4As a 29 year old male myself, the of idea of dating a college undergraduate is just plain weird... particularly in this case, where there is such an obvious power imbalance. The outcome (though perhaps not the severity) should have been apparent from the get go.

#5As a tangent, I was appalled to read that Stanford undergrads can major in "management science". What happened to the high academic standards for which Stanford is famous?

"self-designed major in management science and neuroengineering"
I would guess it is one of those programs where you kind of make up your title and path. Is neuroengineering more to your liking?

Adding in neuroengineering makes it sound even more pretentious and fake.

The number of companies in Silicon Valley that fail purely due to management incompetence should yield a bit of respect for people trying to improve the situation.
In any case, Management Science at Stanford is part of the "Management Science and Engineering" division.. You can see their areas of research here:

Seems pretty relevant, no?

I know several Stanford graduates. MS&E (management science and engineering) is basically the Stanford equivalent of an undergraduate degree in business. So judged relative to other business programs it's not any better or any worse (although we can argue the merits of studying business in undergrad at all).
And to be fair, mismanagement is more likely to come from people who think that studying business in school qualifies them to manage people than it is from other sources.
