Quote:When does nurturing 1 or 2 students in spite of the well being of the university, which has thousands of others to nuture, take precedent?


Its called the greater good.

 

Lord save me from the greater good. If you want to sacrifice yourself for the greater good, fine. If you agree to let others volunteer to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, fine. If you want to sacrifice someone against their will for the greater good, that's immoral. True in big things and in small.

 

When does protecting the rights of 1 or 2 criminals take precedent over the public safety of many more citizens?

 

The answer to both is when you care about the greater good long term. Due process is there for a reason. I refuse to get drawn back into the discussions from 12th grade government, but suffice to say the railroading at Duke hurts its students far more than FSU not suspending Jameis will hurt its students.
