			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In March, a University of the Pacific women's basketball player <a href="http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090529/A_NEWS/905290324">filed a civil suit against the university</a> for mishandling her on-campus sexual assault at the hands of three men's basketball players. Now, the university's spokesperson is severely mishandling the damage control.</p>
<p>The lawsuit alleges that "two basketball players raped [the student] at a May 2008 party at Townhouses, campus housing on Pershing Avenue, and that a third player came into the room where she was and assaulted her as the first two players were leaving."</p>
<p class="articleGraf">Pacific spokesman <strong>Richard Rojo</strong> isn't denying that the incident occurred. But he is denying that it was rape, saying: "We would call it date rape."</p>
<p class="articleGraf">You know what date rape is? I'll give you a hint: It's right there in the name! It's RAPE. Not to Rojo, RecordNet reports:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="articleGraf">Rojo said the university considers "outright rape" and date rape to be different, in that date rape does not involve "a rapist jumping out of bushes and attacking people randomly."</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="articleGraf">It's great to hear that rape is now a completely random crime that occurs only in proximity to a particular type of flora (bushes). Since 80 percent of rapists are known to the victim, this new development should severely cut down on rapes! Unfortunately, it also means that a lot more men are going to be getting raped, since victims are chosen entirely at random. I say, burn the bushes! Burn them! Then, when Richard Rojo has no more on-campus rapes to report, he can write his own dictionary or something. I'd buy it!</p>
