“Judicial restraint” is emerging as the unstated mantra of both the regulatory agencies that are clamping down on students’ individual rights, and the activists who want to shred basic fairness and due process for unfavored groups…An entire generation of college men – gay, straight, bisexual, black, Asian and more – is on the line.

Some accusers — particularly those on college campuses — make accusations for revenge against a lover who did not want to continue with a relationship. Some accusations are the result of accusers failing classes or their grades slipping.

Police concluded that no crime was committed. St. Thomas pressed ahead with its investigation and notified John that he was suspended…however John appealed. The appeal was denied. John’s suspension lasts until February 2018. Had he not appealed, the suspension would have been for only one year.

Extremely zealous bureaucrats have managed to turn it [Title IX] into a justification for federal intervention into every aspect of college life that somehow involves sex. Not only are college students at risk of severe and completely unjust punishment due to the OCR’s inquisition, the First Amendment rights of everyone on campus are imperiled.
