Suit: Former Bethune-Cookman Student Accuses Basketball Players of Rape

A former student at Bethune-Cookman College was raped during her freshman year by four former basketball players that attended the college. The former student filed a lawsuit against the men, and they were accused of gang raping the student. The plaintiff was gang raped in a vehicle owned by C.J. Reed. She stated that Reed mounded her with alcohol beverages. After taking a few sips, she began to feel faint. Reed then picked up three other basketball players that night, and they decided to perform sexual acts with her without her consent. Many accused the school of not preventing the distribution of alcohol to minors on campus and not having enough campus security.

Any thoughts, comments, and/or concerns?

Do you think that the university should be held responsible for not being able to prevent this situation from occurring on campus?  
Would more campus security have prevented this situation from occurring?
Is it the schools fault for C.J. Reed to have alcohol in his possession while underage?
Should Reed’s father have been fired from his position due to allegations that his son might have raped the former student?

Some questions to consider.
