Did you know why? Here’s why. College administrator wants to protect the institution. Neither that the administrator wants students be harmed nor the administrator wants the harm to perpetuate, but administrator purpose is to protect the institution.

In the book, Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in College Town, by Jon Krakauer, the reader delves into how rape and sexual assault are treated in the town of Missoula, and the University of Montana. As the reader, we are informed on how the university, the police department, the district attorney’s office, and the community reacted to these rape and sexual assault allegations.
