Yes, if they were unfair. Since I am not working on campus in an office dealing with sexual assault, I really can't say. It sounds from what I read last year that some of the young men were being expelled from college without due process? That is not right, if that is what happened.Betsy DeVos is set to weaken sexual misconduct enforcement on campus.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday afternoon that the Education Department secretary is revising Title IX standards for addressing cases of sexual harassment and assault on college campuses. DeVos has yet to finalize the revisions, but a draft obtained by Times will “bolster the rights” of accused students, “narrow the definition of sexual harassment,” and hold “schools accountable only for formal complaints filed through proper authorities and for conduct said to have occurred on their campuses.”
If ushered in, the new/revised rules will be titled, 'Make Grabbing Pussy Great Again'
So, do any of the women here agree that campus sexual assault guidelines should be relaxed?
I advocate women being supported in the case of rape, regardless of where it happens. I don't advocate ruining a young man's education with accusations that are not properly looked into and confirmed.
The article (see Marty Began's link, post #5) explains things a little better and the why and wherefore of it.
I don't think most of us have the actual knowledge of how these rules work to know if this is going to make things more or less fair for victims and the accused.
there are over 5,200 colleges & universities within the US. If someone is expelled from one educational institution, what precludes that person from going to one of the other 5,199 schools?
I don't see such a broad range of options as, "ruining a young man's education."
