Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

From an American perspective, it seems very strange that this case was taken to trial on a theory of negligence and not anything intentional, given the evidence prosecutors put on, especially when you read the more detailed earlier NYT story about it.
Oh my god, the guy who left his girlfriend on a mountain to die had done the same thing to a different girlfriend on THE SAME MOUNTAIN.

Wait, they think that the officer who covered up the murder of a Marine was the good guy in the movie?
Fox News is mad that Jack Nicholson's character was portrayed as the bad guy in "A Few Good Men," citing it as the start of the downfall of "masculinity" in America.
"They villified him! Right there's where Hollywood started this."
"Now there's too few good men! That's the problem!"
