DEVOS: “One Rape is One Too Many- ONE PERSON DENIED DUE PROCESS is ONE TOO MANY”

September 7, 2017

The Department of Education will change its approach to campus sexual misconduct and begin a public notice and comment process to issue new regulations. In a speech today, Betsy DeVos decried “a system run amok,” “kangaroo courts” and repeatedly emphasized the plight of the accused. In an emotional address, DeVos told anecdotes about accused students contemplating, and committing, suicide. She mentioned a controversial case in which a University of Southern California football player was expelled for what his girlfriend says was merely “playful roughhousing.”
