In response to the August 27 case of a young man lifting up and carrying a young woman at a party, City University authorities have established a student discipline panel. The man was reportedly half-naked while the woman was clad in only shorts and a bra. Am I the only person to think that a mountain is being made out of a molehill here? We run the risk of using a sledgehammer to crack the proverbial small nut.One aspect of this case does merit further examination: the issue of consent. Who among those attending what was essentially a private gathering consented to be filmed? Who among the students present at the event thought it was acceptable to film proceedings at a closed function and release the footage to social media?
