ASSAULT on Justice: Title IX Lawlessness at Universities

March 22, 2017

For nearly six years now, a federal mandate has manhandled American colleges. The Department of Education’s 2011 guidance on campus sexual misconduct reinterpreted a gender parity law—Title IX of the Higher Education Act—to police colleges’ responses to reported sexual assaults. The federal government, joined by virtually all colleges and universities, has mounted a systematic attack on bedrock American principles including the presumption of innocence, access to exculpatory evidence, the right to cross-examine one’s accuser, and due process. Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson trace the ideological and political roots of this harmful policy shift to a cultural interest in reparations to the second sex.
