DeVos published her draft rules in 2018 after walking back Title IX guidance from the Obama administration the previous year. The Obama-era policies were largely credited with giving sexual assault survivors new protections, but they were derided in some circles for being unfairly slanted against accused students.

Her proposal proved unpopular among advocates of sexual assault survivors. They took particular issue with requirements that college officials hold a live hearing to make a decision in a case and that parties or their representatives be allowed to cross-examine each other.

The letter, signed by the top lawyers from 17 states and Washington, D.C., references the former provision. They wrote that certain legal obligations, including having a live hearing, would be "impossible and unsafe" during the current health crisis.

Come on, people. This crap isn't that hard.

I will never understand why these universities thought they could perpetually suspend our Bill of Rights for their kangaroo courts.

Sexual assaults are horrid crimes. But then so are false accusations. People need a fair hearing. I'll never understand why that should be suspended for four years on a college campus.
