Faux Rape: Did UVA Plant Fake Rape Story?

Faux Rape, first at Duke and now University of Virginia  Time line: on 19 Nov.  Rolling Stone published a fabricated story of a gang rape on the University of Virginia campus; in response, UVA president, Teresa Sullivan, suspended all fraternities and sororities on campus.

Now it appears that the Rolling Stone story was planted by UVA campus sexual assault awareness project coordinator Emily Renda  from Chuck Ross, Daily Caller [1]:

The initial idea for a bombshell — but now debunked — Rolling Stone article about a gang-rape at the University of Virginia departed drastically from its original intent, university emails show.

The emails, obtained by The Daily Caller through a Freedom of Information request, show UVA campus sexual assault awareness project coordinator Emily Renda informing the university’s PR department about her communications with Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the Rolling Stone reporter.

In other words, Sullivan wanted an excuse to shut down all fraternities and her campus sexual assault awareness project coordinator, all in time for Christmas.
