How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points separating the two headlines. Both the New York Post and the Boston Globe employed neutral, procedural language to describe the faculty action, differing only in minor phrasing. The Post's headline referenced "a no-confidence resolution over response to alleged frat gang rape," specifying the nature of the underlying incident, while the Globe used the broader phrase "handling of sexual assault allegations." Neither outlet employed ideologically charged language or framing; both foregrounded the institutional voting process rather than emphasizing victim or accused perspectives. The primary distinction is that the Post named the specific alleged incident more explicitly, while the Globe used a more general descriptor. Neither choice appears to reflect ideological intent, and scorers flagged no loaded language in either headline.
