Thank goodness that some people with clout are standing up to the blatant discrimination and lack of due process in these college courts. I want rapists to be severely punished too, but you don't accomplish that by automatically expelling every male student who faces an accusation.

I'm sorry that it's painful for rape victims to have to repeat their story and that it feels like you aren't being believed when there's an investigation to find out whether your story is true or not. But that's the way it has to be, in order to prevent more innocent people from being harmed.

It sounds like all these Ivy League law schools don't know much about the law. /s

In all seriousness, it's sad to see what are probably the best legal scholars in the country ignored when they defend basic human rights. I really hope the next presidential administration appoints people to run OCR who don't buy into the whole rape culture meme.

The nexus of problem not weather it's fair or not it's the fact that colleges are ill equipped to investigate and adjudicate rape..Do they investigate and judge assault,theft,murder? No colleges call the police same as any institution..Schools don't even adjudicate drinking or DUI's safety related issues that present a much greater hazards to student than sexual assault..
