“The Hunting Ground” is a documentary addressing the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. The documentary has caused 19 Harvard law professors to criticize the accuracy of certain cases in the movie. Other professors have rebutted that the 19 professors myopically paid attention to the legal aspects rather than sexual assault. The 19 professors focus on one case specifically of a Harvard student that in the film was portrayed as guilty as well as an offender when he was not indicted by Harvard Law of serious charges and was later reinstated by the school. As the argument goes back and forth, it’s perplexing to understand the point of view of the 19 professors as it would seem they are more interested in preserving Harvard’s image as a prestigious school rather than consider the serious nature of sexual assault on college campuses.
