Univ. policy lowers standards for sexual misconduct charges. Policy change is in compliance with federal law guides. “It’s obviously one of the big side effects, if it could result in an innocent person being found guilty. But I think sexual assault is such a big issue that it’s worth the risk.”

Hey yeah, the hell with presumption of innocence. That stuff is whack.

After reading the sole comment, I've decided this planet is doomed.

Isn't that un-constitutional? Double Jeopardy laws are a thing in America right?

Feminists say better that 100 innocent men suffer than one guilty man set free.

They also removed the right to cross-examine your accuser. And of course there is no right to legal representation.

The constitution is only for corporations these days.

Wow.

Murder is a bigger issue than sexual assault. Yet we do our best to avoid policies that "could result in an innocent person being found guilty".

Christ.

I pray that Steph Winter and Jill Santos are not brought to one of these boards and have to account for their whereabouts during a night with alcohol or where other people claim they were and what they did.

I can see alot of space for abuse and while this would work in a more utopian society, I honestly fear this decision and fret about the respective consequences.

Military tribunals are frightening, but these College kangaroo courts are somehow ok?
