Occidental. OCR’s Letter Accepts Reduced Sanctions as Attempt at Due Process

June 15, 2016

OCR found insufficient evidence that Occidental violated Title IX, “except with respect to the issue of promptness in several cases during the 2012-13 school year.” In short, OCR seems to approve of the idea that due process can be achieved after a questionable hearing by simply lessening the repercussions an accused student suffers… it is essential to remember that due process protections must be provided before the fact-finders reach their conclusion.
