Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 “We need to fight like hell against the administration … to my fellow students, speak loud about the wrongdoings that have been done here on campus because if we don’t, we may never be able to again.”
🔮 Facing fierce backlash, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten on Monday attempted to explain why his office hadn’t pursued charges at the time, claiming all he had received was a signed statement submitted by campus police that “did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped.”
