Over 1,000 young girls were raped, sexually abused, & victimized by very powerful men. Over many years. Those young girls are the ONLY victims in this horrible story.

When the dust settles, and if universities have meaningfully survived, it will be worth asking how institutions usually so resistant to thoroughgoing change chose to leap with both feet into an untested technology they didn't understand and didn't know how to use.

The University of Michigan is now claiming that students have an ‘ethical responsibility’ to use AI.

How did he do it?
NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.
