Feds Fuel Anti-Sex Inquisition on Campus

April 18, 2016

Universities are not in the business of policing students’ sex lives…under the federal government’s current understanding of Title IX, they are actually required to intervene. Title IX has been a disaster for due process. OCR has told colleges that they must evaluate claims on a preponderance of the evidence standard. In theory, this means that students should be found responsible if administrators are just 51 percent sure they are guilty. In practice, given that students are often denied legal counsel, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and records relating to the charges against them, it often falls to the accused to prove that he is innocent—an inversion of the principles of modern justice.
