UVA President Admits Rolling Stone Gang Rape Article Is ‘Discredited’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Nearly two months after it became clear that a Rolling Stone article about a gang rape at the University of Virginia was mostly fabricated, school president Teresa Sullivan finally admitted on Friday that the story is “discredited.”
...
This is the first time that Sullivan has directly criticized the article, which told the story of a student named Jackie who claimed that seven members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brutally gang-raped her at a party in 2012.
...
... And even after the Charlottesville Police Department said that there was no basis to support Jackie’s claims against Phi Kappa Psi, Sullivan and the university required all fraternities to sign a contract full of new demands before they could resume social activities.

In her speech, Sullivan appeared to try to distance herself from those sanctions.

“Our decision to pause Greek social activities extended the pause that the Inter-Fraternity Council had already initiated,” Sullivan said. “The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity voluntarily surrendered its Fraternal Organization Agreement, or FOA. And an unaffiliated fraternity and unaffiliated sorority voluntarily suspended their own social activities.”
...
Sullivan did not apologize directly to Phi Kappa Psi or its members in her speech.'
