Texas A&M under federal investigation for railroading student accused of rape

The male student denied abusing the female student; a police investigation resulted in no criminal charges. But after a university disciplinary hearing, the male student was suspended for seven months. He complained to the school — and later to the Department of Education — that A&M’s system for investigating allegations of sexual violence was “flawed” and that he was penalized based on “lies.”.. the federal agency asked A&M to respond to allegations that it showed bias against men during its disciplinary proceedings.

How to punish campus sexual assault

“Sexual assault” now covers a range of experiences, from that stranger in the woods to an unwanted touch at a party…Time and time again we have seen young men expelled or suspended following alcohol-soaked, highly ambiguous sexual encounters that didn’t involve force or the word “no.” We have seen errors of judgment derail a promising future because, in the world of campus sexual assault, all punishments go to 11…What schools need — and it may be that the Department of Education is the only entity that can give it to them — is a sliding scale that would adjust for the seriousness of a sexual assault.

Occidental. College stalls for 500 days in John Doe vs. Occidental

Doe’s lawyers filed a Motion to Compel in LA Superior court…”Petitioner needs Occidental College to produce the administrative record, or agree to the Administrative Record that Petitioner produced over a year ago.”

Discredited rape data overshadow what’s accurate

Discredited rape data overshadow what’s accurate

The most egregious example of bad data driving out good is the rape statistic that one in five women will be attacked. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), conducted by the Department of Justice, has been called the gold standard of rape statistics because its sound methodology is repeated consistently on an annual basis. It found that, from 2007 to 2013, the mean annual rate at which women were sexually assaulted was 4.7 per 1,000. Multiplying the figure by four approximates the risk a female student confronts during her time on campus. It is 20 per 1,000, or one in 50..Researchers who argue for government policy on the basis of a suggestive and now debunked study are expressing vested interests. It is a path by which bad data become bad law.

19 Harvard Law professors pen letter denouncing ‘The Hunting Ground’

“We believe that Brandon Winston was subjected to a long, harmful ordeal for no good reason. Justice has been served in the end, but at enormous costs to this young man,” the professors wrote. “We denounce this film as prolonging his ordeal with its unfair and misleading portrayal of the facts of his case. Mr. Winston was finally vindicated by the Law School and by the judicial proceedings, and allowed to continue his career at the Law School and beyond. Propaganda should not be allowed to erase this just outcome.”

The Real Reason the Left Opposes the Safe Campus Act

The anti-Safe Campus Act position is puzzling on a number of levels…one of the primary reasons campus rape activists are loath to create a larger role for law enforcement in campus rape cases is that they correctly perceive that the legal system would summarily dismiss many if not most of the cases that lead to disciplinary sanctions in campus courts…activists must be able to continue to push the idea of a campus rape crisis where one in five women are victims, without revealing to the public that what they describe as “rape” is actually something very different from what most people still understand the term to mean.

Two Over-Privileged Millennials Engage in Sex and Get F-cked

Opening the Curtain on a Post-Modern Tragedy: One of the more prominent and most salacious performances of campus-related sexual assault has recently emerged from the Title IX shadows into the courtroom and the court of public opinion, and it contains many of the elements common to false and malicious allegations, compounded by issues of power-imbalance, family interventions, therapeutic conditioning and pecuniary interests, and made more complex by a campus hearing process influenced and reversed by victim advocacy protest, media attention and the unrelenting pressure of ever-more stringent government mandates.

The Lessons of Stanford’s Sex-Assault-Case Reversal

On Tuesday, the university reversed its finding of sexual misconduct and harassment, lifting the campus ban it had imposed on Lonsdale…Stanford cited “new evidence” in clearing Lonsdale. When I asked what this new evidence was, a spokeswoman pointed me to my own article… (posted here last Feb. at helpsaveoursons.com)
