ST. CHARLES • A 21-year-old student who falsely reported two weeks ago that she had been assaulted on the campus of Lindenwood University has been dismissed by the school.

In a press release sent out by the school Monday afternoon, President Jim Evans said Lindenwood had zero tolerance for actions like hers.

“Lindenwood is a safe campus, and we will be steadfast in our efforts to remove those who commit such crimes and mislead our student population, our faculty, and our staff, ” he said.


EDIT: So, I say that someone making up a rape story is a vile person and deserving of contempt and now I'm an MRA. Thanks, guys.
