Fraternity’s Conduct
Is it any wonder that leadership in America, from politics to business, is remarkably free of ethical conduct? The members of USC fraternity Alpha Tau Omega are merely the latest to benefit from membership in the upper class. Membership does have its privileges; for example, getting Mommy and Daddy to use money or connections to bail you out of trouble that others would have to stand and face.
USC is often referred to as University of Spoiled Children. Yeah, no kidding. Certainly not all, or even most, but too many of the students are.
As for Chief Daryl Gates and others who blocked the investigation of the alleged rape and incidents of assault, it is merely more conclusive proof that Gates should resign and the LAPD needs to be overhauled.
