The final regulation unravels a Trump-era system for handling sexual assault complaints, discarding some of the rules that bolstered due process rights of the accused. Supporters said those rules were critical to ensuring that students had the opportunity to defend themselves; critics said they discouraged sexual assault survivors from reporting incidents and turned colleges into quasi-courtrooms.

>Removing due process for defendants.

>Due Process turned college campuses into quasi-courtrooms instead of a kangaroo tribunal. This was a bad thing.

:marseyconfused2:

Not trying to go out in a limb and defend male feminists here but acting like the removal of due process is actually a good thing does seem par the course for current year journ*lism.

I had a friend who got Title IX'd by a BPD ex gf. Luckily this marijuana-enjoying failson had very rich parents who probably tossed 200K to frightening lawyers and eventually the school dropped it after enough legal threats convinced them that the kangaroo court proceedings were based on false allegations, but he would have be annihilated if he didn't.

Oh well, believe all women I guess this was the only time someone abused Title IX :#marseyclueless:

Under the Trump administration's regulation, finalized in 2020, colleges were required to stage live hearings to adjudicate complaints, where the accused could cross-examine witnesses — including the students who were alleging assault.

Under President Biden's new rules, colleges will have more flexibility. The investigator or person adjudicating the case may question witnesses in separate meetings or employ a live hearing.

The new rules also will allow schools to use a lower bar for adjudicating guilt. In weighing evidence, they are now directed to use a “preponderance of the evidence” standard, though they may opt for a higher standard of “clear and convincing evidence” if they use that standard in other similar proceedings. Under the Trump version, universities had a choice, but they were required to use the higher standard if they did so in other settings.

Make all the laws arbitrary! :marseyfluffy:
