So Glad My Boys Are Out of College

No wonder fewer and fewer males are attending universities. The environment is toxic for them:

Title IX investigation clears Michigan State basketball players of rape
JUNE 29, 2019


A trio of basketball players from Michigan State University were cleared of rape charges by Title IX investigators this past Wednesday.
Bailey Kowalski, who graduated from MSU this spring, came forward shortly before the end of the 2018 school year to claim she had been raped by three MSU basketball players at an off-campus party in 2015.
According to the State News (https://statenews.com/article/2019/04/msu-student-who-says-she-was-raped-by-three-msu-basketball-players-speaks), Kowalski said at a press conference last spring:
“I was only 18 years old as a freshman when I was gang-raped and no one prepares an 18 year old to go through something like that. At the time I needed help most I went to the Michigan State Counseling center where I was told during freshman orientation that I would find support. Instead I was intimidated, and I was told I was going to be dealing with some ‘really big fish.”‘
Kowalski indicated that last phrase was the main catalyst for her decision not to file a police report. She said the players would “have the university’s backing” and “better lawyers.” Her use of a fake ID the night in question also played a role in the decision, according toESPN.com (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/27076415/title-ix-report-clears-msu-players-sex-assault)

KANGAROO COURT UPDATE: Purdue Student Expelled for Alleged Sexual Abuse Can Proceed With His Due Process and Sex Discrimination Claims. (https://reason.com/2019/07/01/purdue-student-expelled-for-alleged-sexual-abuse-can-proceed-with-his-due-process-and-sex-discrimination-claims/) If the 7th Circuit panel had been all male, the press accounts would probably emphasize that. But since it’s all-female, we probably won’t hear much about its makeup.


Plus: “It is plausible that Sermersheim and her advisors chose to believe Jane because she is a woman and to disbelieve John because he is a man. The plausibility of that inference is strengthened by a post that CARE put up on its Facebook page during the same month that John was disciplined: an article from The Washington Post titled ‘Alcohol isn’t the cause of campus sexual assault. Men are.'”

Seriously toxic.

I've got young kids still looking forward to college. Will be sending them to my alma mater, where my older boys also went. College of the Ozarks, otherwise known as Hardwork U.

It's not for everyone, but you damn sure won't see any of this craziness on their campus.

It is seriously scary. Women are presumed to be telling the whole truth-'no one lies about rape.' Thus, men are under 'presumed guilty,' and no due process. So wrong. Just about every case where the men bring it to court, the school settles. When they haven't, the man wins and civil suits follow.

I said that way back when Hillary with her "every woman deserves to be believed unless the evidence shows she is lying" bullshit. Quite obviously what she was saying was "every man accused of rape by a woman is guilty unless the evidence proves they are innocent"

What a load of shit. And who is raising these pigs anyway? I'd beat one of my girls' asses if they falsely accused a man of rape.

Of course dem politicians are exempt. In such cases all the female accusers are lying- just as if its a conservative, christian or Republican politician
all of them are telling the truth..
Funny how that works. Almost as if the enlightened dems/liberals are biased and don't give a damn about truth or justice.
Now who would have dared -thunk-- that? :rolleyes:--Tyr

Amy Coney Barrett Strikes a Blow against Campus Kangaroo CourtsBy DAVID FRENCH
July 2, 2019 2:00 PM

Her opinion holds universities legally responsible for their woke ideology.


Whenever I read a court opinion describing a campus sexual-assault proceeding, I routinely find myself shocked at the staggering unfairness and ridiculous bias of campus kangaroo courts. Driven by the need to find more men guilty — and rationalized by a #BelieveWomen ideology — campus administrators have systematically discarded every fundamental notion of due process in American law.

Across the nation, courts on the right and on the left are saying no. They’re blocking biased sexual-assault adjudications, protecting basic fairness, and restoring a degree of sanity to colleges’ procedures. On Friday it was the turn of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to protect the Fourteenth Amendment, and an all-woman panel, led by Judge Amy Coney Barrett, established a precedent that could be used against woke college administrators nationwide.


The facts of the case are extraordinary. After a female college student accused her ex-boyfriend of groping her in her sleep, Purdue University conducted an investigation and adjudication so amateurish and biased that it’s frankly difficult to imagine that human adults could believe it was fair or adequate. The plaintiff (John Doe) alleged that he was “not provided with any of the evidence on which decisionmakers relied in determining his guilt and punishment,” his ex-girlfriend didn’t even appear before the hearing committee, he had “no opportunity to cross-examine” his accuser, the committee found his accuser credible even though it did not talk to her in person, the accuser did not even write her own statement or provide a sworn allegation, and the committee did not allow the plaintiff “to present any evidence, including witnesses.”

After that farce of a process, Purdue found the student guilty and suspended him for a year. The suspension meant the automatic loss of the student’s Navy ROTC scholarship and expulsion from the ROTC program. Incredibly, the lower court dismissed the student’s claims. He appealed to the Seventh Circuit, and a unanimous panel resurrected his lawsuit.


Judge Barrett was unsparing in her criticism of the university’s procedures. In perhaps the most telling critique, she noted that Purdue’s process, with its permanent, devastating consequences for the student’s career, “fell short of what even a high school must provide to a student facing a days-long suspension.” Withholding evidence from the plaintiff by itself was sufficient to render the process unfair. So was the failure to provide any means of meaningfully examining the accuser’s credibility. As Barrett wrote, the evidence suggests that the committee “decided that John was guilty based on the accusation rather than the evidence.”

Bill's shenanigans woudn't fly into today's PC world. I don't believe he ever actually raped anyone though. Sorry, I just don't believe those women either.

[Kathianne]

I think Juanita Brodderick is quite credible. Too bad she never got to prove the case.

In addition to the dress DNA, one of the women identified some “unusual” feature on his privates. I believe them.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:
● Shot: Would Joe Biden Subject Himself To The Sexual Assault Adjudication Policies He Helped Impose on Colleges? (https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/04/would-joe-biden-subject-himself-to-the-sexual-assault-adjudication-policies-he-helped-impose-on-colleges/)
— Mike LaChance, Legal Insurrection, today.

● Chaser:

Biden is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc, nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the week immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident.

—Alexander Cockburn, CounterPunch, August 23, 2008 (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/grabby-joe-bidens-achilles-hand/).

As Iowahawk tweets (https://twitter.com/iowahawkblog/status/1255864088007188480), “Gotta say these 2nd Edition revisions of ‘Principles of Sexual Harrassment’ are a real doozy.”

[Abbey Marie]

Vanity, definitely. Entitlement, even more so.
