Alpha Game: Stop worrying about campus rape

Alpha Game: Stop worrying about campus rape





Universities would do better to concern themselves with campus suicide.

A gifted student hanged herself after 'slowly unravelling' with depression, an inquest heard today. Elsa Scaburri, thought to be the fifth Bristol University student to commit suicide in one year, went 'downhill' during a year of studying modern languages abroad in Italy.

Miss Scaburri, 21, felt 'worthless' and came back to the UK so she could be with her mother in January this year where she was diagnosed with clinical depression.

Of course, it's harder to blame a woman's suicide on men than a woman's rape. And, of course, it's considerably harder to claim that a nonexistent suicide took place.
