Rolling Stone is still suffering the consequences of having failed to follow standard journalistic practices in its publication of a sensational, and ultimately discredited, story about &#8220;<a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/a-rape-on-campus-what-went-wrong-20150405">a rape on campus</a>&#8221; that never happened. But this week, one legal component of that fallout finally came to an end, with the magazine reaching a confidential settlement with the former associate dean smeared in the now fully retracted story.
After the November 2014 story unraveled, former University of Virginia associate dean Nicole Eramo <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/local/eramo-vs-rolling-stone-complaint/1692/">sued</a> Rolling Stone and the story&#8217;s author Sabrina Rubin Erdely for defamation of character. Erdely, Eramo&#8217;s lawyers argued, allowed her desire to write a sensational story about the so-called &#8220;rape culture&#8221; on college campuses override basic journalistic practices and ethics. Despite glaring inconsistencies in the rape claims of the supposed victim, &#8220;Jackie,&#8221; the magazine published her fabricated account. Eramo was cast by Erdely as a &#8220;<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/local/eramo-vs-rolling-stone-complaint/1692/">chief villain</a>&#8221; of the story, the embodiment of a heartless administration willing to cover up rape to protect the good name of the institution.
