      The fact that the vulnerable person was required to repeat a year and end up in the same class as their rapist is reprehensible.

      It does sound a little more complicated than on first appearances.

      From the article:

      *The certs did not outline the nature of the incident that gave rise to her missing the tests.*

      *Derogations were given months later when she disclosed she had been the victim of an assault.*

      *In the lawsuit, she claimed there was a delay in uploading the derogations to her academic record, while there were also conditions attached to which she could not agree.*

      *The alleged assailant was a student in the year behind her, she claimed, and the young woman would not agree to an academic plan that involved her staying back a year as it would have brought her into contact with him.*

      *She did not identify her alleged attacker to college authorities.*

      *The young woman had insisted she should be allowed to progress into the next academic year while carrying over six uncompleted modules. The university did not believe this was feasible.*

      *Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger said that what happened to the young woman was “deeply traumatic for her and, in her own words, her life fell apart”.*

      *However, the judge dismissed the lawsuit and backed the university’s handling of the matter.*

      *The judge found that once the university was given more information, it responded fairly and sympathetically.*

      *The university had told the court it gave the woman a range of options to help her get back on track, but these were rejected.*

      *Ms Justice Bolger found that the student formed the erroneous view that she was immune from any monitoring of her workload and from the imposition of an academic plan.*

      Like, they couldn’t just pass someone into the next year of medicine if they haven’t done their exams. And they couldn’t expel the rapist, as she wouldn’t identify him.

      Horrendous situation.

      An absolutely horrendous situation for the woman, but UCD isn’t at fault here.

      The case went to the High Court and they found UCD had done nothing wrong: the poor woman didn’t tell them about the assault until it was too late to make academic arrangements. She didn’t pass her exams so UCD couldn’t pass her onto the next year as a medical student, or go with her suggestion to carry forward her 6 unfinished modules. She also didn’t identify her attacker which is understandable but it means UCD can’t take action against him.

      It’s entirely understandable why the woman went about it the way she did, as she’d been through such a traumatic experience, but UCD couldn’t have acted differently, given the circumstances.

      The way that elements of the media and politicians have tried to exploit this to make it sound like UCD abandoned her is fairly despicable.

      A picture of her naked, assaulted and beaten was shared around to her entire year group and to more than 150 staff email accounts.

      Say what you will about the missed modules, UCD undeniably and disgustingly fucked up and is continuing to bury their head in the sand.

      Signed, a UCD student who was just at that protest minutes ago

      My friend in a US college was on a team with his friends rapist. Everyone on the team knew including the coaches. The coaches forced him off the team by making him uncomfortable and unwanted. That’s it . That was his punishment. I was in my early 20s when I heard that and i thought how awful that was the only repercussions. Now that im older I realise the coaches were good guys and they did all they could. Everyone else failed her
