Betsy DeVos Preparing New Sexual Misconduct Rules to "Protect the Accused"
- Thread starter Bio
- Start date
The accused in a lot of these cases weren't actually given legal rights as if they were accused of a crime. They weren't even allowed so much as a chance to cross-examine witnesses or appeal any ruling.
There are men and women who do not find any sexual harassment severe and that we should just ignore it. How can we trust them to find it objectively offensive?

More importantly why does it need to be so severe that you can't even go to school before it is taken seriously?
Yeah and possibly the worst thing about this thing too. By defining it as the location where an offending event took place, it muddies up who the responsibility is on. Most universities don't own the actual frat houses, but the organizations that inhabit them are generally part of the student Greek associations (which are sometimes funded by the student government). Can the university withhold funding if they don't have jurisdiction over the physical location?
(not legal opinion, not legal advice, not your lawyer, etc.)
To the bolded: I don't see why not.
The rule change doesn't mean schools lose jurisdiction over off-campus housing. It's that the Department of Education is rescinding prior guidance and issuing new rules stating that the Department will not require schools to monitor off-campus housing for the purposes of the Department's enforcement of Title IX.
State laws may require schools to monitor off-campus housing, school may damn well continue to monitor for their own purposes but from the article, it appears schools won't run the risk of losing federal funding for a situation where something occurred off-campus and the school failed to investigate (among other issues).

Sure would be a shame if people just burned every rich asshole's yacht on the assumption that it might be hers. The super wealthy just don't deserve that.
Oh man, it's just all so intentionally evil. It boggles the mind how people can be okay with what this administration is doing.
A cabinet of dickheads, truly.
Still can't believe a certain segment of the population gave power to these corrupt pricks.

I hope more of your tacky ass boats are set ablaze, you horrible woman.
You can't just say protect the accused and give the victims more support in the same sentence.

Methinks it's time to sink another yacht. I'll bet the Baylor, Mich State, and Ohio State athletic programs are breathing a sigh of relief at this.
Because Devos supports sexual harassment. She wants to protect the harassers, rapists, and abusers.
I say end police on campuses run by universities. If there are going to be police on campuses, they need to be run by the actual city police. College police act to protect the university in many cases.
That's the point. They want to kill sexual harassment charges and bring back the "good old days" when "boys could be boys" and girls just had to be their sex objects.
"You see, the sluts deserved it. If they didn't want to get raped, they shouldn't be dressed up like whores. Since they're whores, they probably even enjoyed it!"
Ughh. Felt dirty even typing that, but that's how they think.
This is exactly how I feel. It protects every Brock Turner out there.
