TO THE EDITOR:
Whoever made the decision to include the name of the Carolina student accused of sexual battery in the most recent Alert Carolina message made a huge mistake.
The inclusion of this student’s name was completely unnecessary and added absolutely nothing of value to the message.
We must all remember that the young man who was arrested is innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law, and we are not a safer campus because his name was emailed to some 50,000 people.
Alert Carolina essentially used their powerful platform to brag about the fact that they played a part in the identification of this student, and in the process they publicly and unnecessarily embarrassed a Carolina student.
