Sex Police
Common Sense | Emily Yoffe
A warning about the evisceration of due process with new Title IX regulations—”701 pages worth—that will gut due-process rights for college students accused of sexual misconduct.” The new rules recommend the model of a single investigator in which “one administrator can act as detective, prosecutor, judge, and jury on a Title IX complaint.” As for Harvard, the University “boasts more than 50 Title IX coordinators… These careers depend on a steady stream of complaints.”
Not everyone accused is accepting the outcome of campus trials—”to date, around 675…suits have been filed in federal and state courts…[and] judges have issued hundreds of rulings deploring the star chambers and kangaroo courts… One U.S. District court judge wrote that an accused student’s treatment was ‘closer to Salem 1692 than Boston, 2015.’”
