And Trump is supposed to be the authoritarian?:
But there’s also a new rule governing sexual assault in colleges and universities. Donald Trump’s secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, wrote new rules that overturned the draconian, un-American rules on sexual assault that first came out under Barack Obama that denied the accused any semblance of due process and put a thumb on the scale that virtually guaranteed that a male student would be considered guilty.
“Always believe the woman” became a nightmare that derailed the careers of many male students.
DeVos changed that. But now, Biden has reversed the DeVos rules and returned colleges to a standard that denies young men due process and makes it a simple matter to dismiss a student without even a fair hearing.
The Biden administration regulations also require schools to apply a “preponderance of the evidence” standard when investigating complaints. Under that standard, investigators must find an accused student guilty if they conclude it is more than 50 percent likely that the allegations are true. Under the DeVos regulations, by contrast, universities needed “clear and convincing evidence” to punish an accused student.
Under the new regulations, Title IX investigators can deny students access to the evidence against them. They are required only to give accused students a “description of the relevant evidence.” That description can be given “orally,” meaning accused students are not entitled to review testimony, transcripts, or other records used to determine their guilt. The new rules also allow schools to deny accused students a live hearing and the opportunity to question their accusers.
Go here to read the rest. This strips accused of all rights and presumes their guilt standing our system on its head. Perhaps they are also using the Salem Witch Trials as their model. Colleges have no business being in this area at all. This is business for law enforcement and the judicial system. If they are going to hold fake trials, they should be held to the same standards as real courts. it would also help if students acted like the adults they claim to be. Don’t engage in promiscuous drunken sex for starters, and if you do, do not confuse regret with rape. Actual sexual assault is a serious crime and fake allegations by liars are an insult to every woman who has had a real crime of this nature perpetrated against her.
Waiting for some non-lefty law firm to start the litigation. I know it’s a hard path overturning executive branch legal fiats, but maybe that EPA decision can be put to work here?
When the lawyers presently engaged in the television advertisement projects they are currently working on, they have a great opportunity for a civil suit against the institution and the complainant for due process violations that should easily result in a seven figure verdict.
As a wife, as a daughter, as a sister, I am disgusted by this kangaroo justice. I fear, these days, for the men in my family. They are being hunted by this ant-imale hellhag blitzkrieg.
