The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

And now for something completely different...

This should surprise exactly who? The campus witch trials are an extension of the leftist mind-set that demands power over everything. That these "courts" are stacked against heterosexual men is simply icing on the cake. Stalin's Soviet Union could do no worse. He had different targets, but the process was the same.

Since 2011, the federal government has required all universities that receive federal money to provide “training or experience in handling complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence” to adjudicators and investigators. Since nothing in the experience of most academics prepares them to competently investigate an offense that’s a felony in all 50 states, it makes sense to train those who are assigned to investigate campus sexual-assault allegations. But the ideological regimes used on many campuses are designed more to stack the deck against accused students than to ensure a fair inquiry. The risk of injustice is enhanced by the fact that, to the best of our knowledge, no school discloses the contents of its training materials to accused students before commencing the disciplinary process. The contrast between this training regime and the instructions given by judges to jurors in criminal trials—most obviously, that they should presume defendants innocent until proven guilty—is stark.
