How does one confirm a non-student assailant VS a student assailant?

Is acquaintantship the reference point?

Reason for asking, even in high school not everybody knows everybody and a university campus is considerably larger in terms of overall student population.

And why no assailant descriptions based on color?

Is this no longer PC?

Sadly, this happens on all college campuses, but 40% is extremely high. Is it happening more often, being reported more often or has Stanford broadened their definition? Very troubling.

It is unacceptable that Stanford fails to issue timely warnings pursuant to the Clery Act when the students know each other. That sends the outdated message that being raped by an acquaintance is less serious than being raped by a stranger, and that men who rape acquaintances are less dangerous or less likely to be serial rapists. It also reinforces victim blaming myths of rape culture which assumes that this was a misunderstanding on a date instead of a vicious crime. Stanford's failure to issues these warnings deprives students of knowing of the dangers in their surroundings.

I agree with Prof. Dauber. I am sick and tired of the perpetuation of the myth that rape is only committed by strangers--alas, the term "acquaintance rape", created by anit-rape advocates in the late 80's/early 90's to capture the vast majority of sexual assaults now has become yet another term for "consent dense")
If I had a passing acquaintance with the creep who subsequently broke into my home, beat me up, and raped me in 1981, guess no one would have cared or prosecuted him. Guess the same thing goes on today. . . my heart goes out to the victim/survivors.

Plaintiffs and victims should sue Stanford University in civil court (for damages and negligence).
