The discussion following the panelists' presentation shifted focus. Rather then emphasizing the faults of the article, the conversation centered on the role of the Initiative in the anti-male feelings on campus, and on gender relations and the greek system at the college.

I felt like the discussion today skirted the issue people were there to discuss. One Web site.
