Univ. of North Carolina rides roughshod over the rights of presumptively innocent men

In hearing cases of sexual assault, the needs of the victim should be given first priority.

What? What if the accused is not guilty, what if there is no victim? What if the "victim" is in fact the falsely accused? A preponderance of evidence standard would rather significantly disregard his needs, to not be expelled for something he didn't do.

It's just... how can you use words like that that assume the event occurred while trying to determine if the event occurred? That's not unbiased at all.

This is just going to end up tossing more men in prison. And we all know just how our criminal justice system operates: Profits by ruining the lives of men

Fuck feminism.

Recent story of a Xavier basketball player who got expelled from school when he was accused of sexual assault, but was never indicted.

Another NC school, eh? Didn't they learn their lesson from the Duke LaCrosse scandal? I wonder if this will ever land an innocent man at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court?

This is a bit frightening. I remember years back the schools near me passing what was later referred to as the "soft rape" rule. The gist of this was that the woman had one week to determine if she really had given concent. It payed no mind to the actual event concerned. The woman could have even said outright "I want to have sex with you". But over the next week if she decided that for any reason she regretted her decision she could "recind that concent" and claim it as rape. Happily it was dropped after many many cases of false accusation occured. Wherein the woman would file the charge if the man in question did not pursue further relationship with her. A lot of young men were railroaded for failing to come through on their "i'll call you" statements. While the damage done was minimal and the cases which occured under that rule were overturned, It shows just how insane these policy makers can be.

This is fine, as long as all false accusations are punished with immediate expulsion and barred from applying to other schools as well.

Im a student at UNC, and my jaw dropped when I read this article in the Daily Tar Heel. I am glad it is getting some attention. Nobody is batting an eyelash on campus, from what I can see.
