UNIV President: Why We’re Suing Obama Admin. Over Title IX
“Under the auspices of a punitive “Dear Colleague letter,” the Department of Education is forcing colleges to compromise the criminal investigation process by requiring us to convene a campus committee of faculty, staff and students to adjudicate allegations of sexual harassment and assault. As a college president, I believe this directive violates not only due process but also our students’ basic constitutional rights. Under these new “guidelines” students also lose their right to privacy and, in some cases, even the right to representation. The Department of Education is ignoring and circumventing Congress—an overreach that’s especially inappropriate, given the gravity of the crime at stake.”
