Statements =ike "include, but not limited to"? What the fuck =s that? Also, it seems clear that from the list of =E2 allegations' (and note they don't explain which =nes they are actually investigating), that the list is basically the =uzzfeed article.. so indeed they are not restricting themselves in at =east listing just university related ones (items 4 and 5.. and re 5, =hat the fuck?
