From October, here's Dauber's reasoning for why that spot should be memorialized:

In Dauber’s view, a crucial element of the landmark is its context and location near the back door of the fraternity house, where many students walk as they enter parties similar to the one Turner and Doe attended in 2015.

I disagree with Dauber. There's a reason people still make rape jokes. In that location (despite a statement in the Daily article from Kappa Alpha supporting the park), I honestly believe that the temptation to be subversive, to act wildly inappropriate in the face of a danger/harm that's not readily understood, to be an immature and possibly drunk kid, would all contribute to a general lack of respect for such a memorial (in 2018, anyway).

If something like a memorial were to be placed in White Plaza or near the Quad, I think I could support that.
