The administrators described in the article are a symptom, not the cause. I attended a relatively high-ranked college a few years ago and would not have ever considered attending an event named "Exotic Erotic", because:

1. In modern society, everyone is carrying an Internet-connected video camera and nearly every nontrivial social event is filmed.

2. Sexual assault and harassment cases are often litigated in the informal justice system, where there is no statute of limitations, "guilty until proven innocent" standards are often applied, and "I was just a dumb kid trying to navigate a new social environment" is not an excuse.

3. Almost everything I did was expected to be a form of resume-building, even as early as high school.

Will my actions at Exotic Erotic look good to employers? Will they by acceptable to social media users twenty years from now? Can I absolutely guarantee that no one at the event will feel I made them uncomfortable? (Am I willing to bet my future career — the whole reason I am spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend an elite college — on all of the answers being "yes" just to attend one party?)

I mean, several campus advocacy groups were explicitly trying to tell men to stop engaging in those kinds of risky social behaviors!

I don't know that that's a bad thing. I've heard some people, especially women, really did get physically and psychologically injured at these kinds of events. Perhaps cancelling these events is a reasonable price to pay to keep those people safe.
