Yet another study has been released purporting to show that American colleges are just the worst for women. And as you can imagine, multiple media outlets unquestioningly parroted the report’s finding and quoted the author’s statements in articles that might as well have been reprinted press releases.

Alas, this study, like so, so many before it, suffers from the same flaws that have given most reasonable people pause when deciding whether to believe the claim that 1 in 5 American college women have been sexually assaulted.
