The Due Process Brick Wall – Law & Liberty
Because Joe Biden made campus sexual assault a signature issue when he was vice president, feminists hope for a return to the era when students who were accused of sexual misconduct were presumed guilty. Back then, school officials routinely withheld information and evidence. And administrators insisted that complainants could not be questioned lest they be re-traumatized. All of this facilitated colleges arriving at thinly supported findings of sexual assault, even in cases where it seemed wildly implausible that any assault had occurred. Those findings, however, gave colleges the chance to claim they were tough on this crime.
But a return to this past of evidence-free, due-process deficient guilty verdicts is not possible.
Feminists who are now focused on un-doing the new Trump Title IX regulation face a new barrier, one that the Obama-appointed Office for Civil Rights (OCR) never encountered: the courts.
