Tompkins Square University is a college with a savage rape epidemic, which the university permitted and constantly covered up. The university went as far as institutionalizing one student, Renee Clark, to silence her after manipulation failed. (SVU: "Girl Dishonored")
At their Tau Omega Fraternity chapter, Taylor and Emily Culphers went to a party where Emily was kidnapped by a man posing as a frat member named Peter. Taylor stayed at the frat and had sex with a frat brother named Meric, unaware of her age. Meric was later arrested by Detectives Amanda Rollins and Odafin Tutuola while they looked for the girls.

When one student, Lindsay Bennett, committed suicide, the dean, A. Meyerson, and campus cop Leo Barth were arrested for facilitation, reckless endangerment, and obstruction of justice. One of the rapists, Joe Dawson, sold out the others, Travis Holmes, Wesley Grimes, and Carter Pressman, leading to all four being arrested. The students staged protests, and Renee started her own activist organization to spread awareness and advocate for victims. (SVU: "Girl Dishonored")
