The Homecoming Weekend

The Homecoming Weekend

A freshman is found dead the morning after homecoming. The university ruled it accidental before the investigation was complete — and sealed the records for 15 years.

The Pledge

A hazing incident goes fatally wrong. The fraternity's wealthy alumni network mobilizes to protect the members involved. The family has been fighting for a decade.

The Professor

A tenured professor with a pattern of predatory behavior. Students complained for years. The university kept him. Then someone ended up dead.

The Walk Home

A female student assaulted and murdered on her walk home from the library. The campus security failures that made it possible — and the university's stunning initial response.

The Dormitory

A suspicious death in a university dormitory. The roommate cleared immediately. The mounting evidence that the investigation was closed too soon.

The Athletic Department

The Athletic Department

A star athlete accused of assault, protected by coaches and administrators, while the university quietly moved the accuser out of her classes.

Every college parent should listen to this

After the homecoming weekend episode I made my daughter read up on her university's safety policies. Isabelle does important work exposing institutional failure.

Rigorous campus crime reporting

The FOIA episode alone taught me more about public records law than I learned in school. Isabelle is a seriously skilled journalist.

Important but devastating

These stories are incredibly hard to listen to. But they need to be told. Highly recommend for anyone who cares about campus safety.
