> [@Alessan](#): > > Colleges don’t pay municipal taxes? Non-profit origanizations (charities, educational instiututions, churches, etc., etc.) are typically exempt from a lot of taxes. The orphanage from _The Blues Brothers_ shouldn’t have been threatened with shutting down because of back taxes. And honestly, sometimes there’s tension between the university and the town. Oberlin College went to war with [Gibson’s Bakery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson%27s_Bakery_v._Oberlin_College) (Wiki link) over three of their students who were arrested for shoplifting and assault at the town business. Campus police in some places tend to go easy no students which probably doesn’t make townies too happy. We had a fairly robust conversation about it at the [Dope](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oberlin-college-and-free-speech-debate/836070?page=5) back in 2019. > [@Filbert](#): > > I’m not male, but I’ve had multiple guys tell me about assaults that have happened to them, mostly when I worked security, presumably because I made it clear that I actually did think it was important. Terry Crews talks about an incident where a producer groped him. For those unfamiliar with Crews, he’s a former professional football player turned actor, and he’s a big, big man. The type of guy who could twist most other men into a pretzel if he wanted. When he was groped, he felt as though he couldn’t retaliate because of the power differential between him and the producer. And there was the added complication of Crews being Black, and being worried any action on his part would be held against him. > [@MrAtoz](#): > > One comment I’ve seen from a lot of different people in discussions of this case is that you can’t do that. If a crime occurs on campus, you _must_ deal with the campus police. Local police departments won’t even take the report. Which makes sense. If I’m get robbed in Bryant, Arkansas why would the Little Rock Police Department show up to take my report? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-male-rapist-apologists/1033569)._
