Rolling Stone requests help from Columbia University in looking at November rape article

Rolling Stone is looking for help from Columbia University for one of their articles.

The magazine wants the university's journalism school to look in to a controversial article they released in November about a suspected campus fraternity rape at the University of Virginia, according to Reuters. The article, about a woman who claimed she was raped in 2012 in a pledge party at the school’s fraternity Phi Kappa Psi, had its reporting criticized since its release.

Wall Street Journal reported that the dean of Columbia University’s journalism school Steve Coll will look into the article along with academic affairs dean Sheila Coronel. Some of the criticisms of the article included a limited scope in the reporting as well as criticism over the information the accuser gave.

Consequences stemming from the article’s initial release included the prohibition of events from Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities by the university’s president Teresa Sullivan, according to WSJ. The managing editor of Rolling Stone Will Dana explained his reaction to the article and a deal made with the accuser in a series of posts on Twitter early in December.
