When a University of Virginia student confided in Nicole Eramo that she had been gang-raped at a fraternity, Eramo says she took the shocking account seriously — so seriously that she referred the student to police, twice. Eramo says she then endeavored to do everything she could to persuade the student to report the incident to authorities, including the student’s claims that two other women had similarly been gang-raped at the same fraternity. If true, women on campus were in danger, and it was Eramo’s job to protect them.

The University of Wisconsin at Madison has long been considered to be among the nation's top universities. But in recent years it has faced deep budget cuts from the state and a critical governor who led the effort to remove tenure rights from state statute. Only some of those provisions were subsequently placed in university regulations, and many faculty members believe the new system lacks sufficient rights for professors. As the university has faced these controversies, one question has been whether it could hold on to its faculty members.
