'Two black athletes have sued a private college in Ohio, the University of Findlay, for expelling them without even a semblance of due process after they were accused of rape by a white female student.

The lawsuit, filed by Justin Brown and Alphonso Baity, characterizes Findlay’s investigation of the dispute—which was completed in just 24 hours—as a “sham.”

The university failed to interview witnesses who would have corroborated Brown and Baity’s accounts, threatened other witnesses for failing to back up the accuser and, most damningly, ignored considerable evidence that the accuser did not merely consent to sex—she bragged about it later, according to the lawsuit.'

'It was quite the packed panel discussion: a dozen mostly left-leaning speakers, each allotted 10 minutes to give their thoughts on a controversial topic, Grappling with Campus Rape. The venue was the American Association of Law Schools’ 2016 meeting in New York City in early January. The lineup consisted primarily of actual law professors, and featured some undeniable heavy hitters on the subject of campus rape, including Michelle Anderson, dean of the City University of New York School of Law, and Mary Koss, a Regents’ professor of health at the University of Arizona and the originator of the one-in-five statistic about rape prevalence.

The setup was predictable. The answers, on the other hand, were frequently shocking.

'I've written extensively on how the gender wage gap would be more accurately referred to as the "gender earnings gap," because the gap is due mostly to choices women make and not discrimination.

But now you don't have to take my word for it, you can listen to Claudia Goldin, an economics professor at Harvard University. Goldin spoke to Stephen Dubner, the journalist behind the popular podcast "Freakanomics," in a segment about what really causes the gap.

As one can imagine, Goldin comes to the same conclusion that I and many others have: That the gap is due mostly to choices men and women make in their careers and not discrimination.'

This is about one of two girls who planned a school shooting. Excerpt:

'The journal for one of the two girls accused in the Mountain Vista High School murder plot had the names of people she planned to target, prosecutors said in court Wednesday.

That information came out during a motions hearing for 16-year-old Sienna Johnson. Johnson has been charged as an adult with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder after deliberations. 

In court last week, prosecutors also said Johnson bought a BB gun to practice her shooting skills and mapped out plans to attack Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch.'

This may have been just an alibi for something else. Excerpt:

'Parker police want the public to know they do not believe a teenage girl was kidnapped in September and the girl may face charges for lying.

Back in September, police asked the community for help finding a person who had kidnapped a 17-year-old girl from her home, put her in a vehicle, subjected to her to what police called "unlawful sexual contact" and released her in the Willow Park area.

Police now believe the girl lied.

"It is with great relief that we announce that there are no kidnapping suspects at large," Parker police said in a news release sent to Denver7. "No arrests have been made in this case. We have recommended to the District Attorney’s Office that the individual be charged with False Reporting to Authorities."'

'The source of Rolling Stone’s retracted story on gang rape at the University of Virginia, “Jackie,” will be forced to turn over some of her communications as part of a defamation lawsuit against the magazine.

Considering motions by Associate Dean of Students Nicole Eramo, a federal judge in Virginia said in court Tuesday that Jackie’s communications with Rolling Stone and “A Rape on Campus” author Sabrina Rubin Erdely “likely would be integral” to Eramo’s case, The Washington Post reported.

Judge Glen Conrad said he’s still mulling whether to require Jackie to turn over communications with her friends and family “related to the article,” the Post said.

Feminist organizations had earlier accused Eramo – and the university itself – of “victim blaming” for trying to force Jackie to turn over documents deemed by Eramo’s counsel to be “highly relevant” to her $7.5 million lawsuit.'

As many know, OCR is investigating 50, 100, 1000, 10,000, no ONE BILLION sexual assault cases...

I have always wondered what are the results.

Well, The Chronicle of Higher Education is gathering them up, and you can find the cases here:

http://projects.chronicle.com/titleix/

In many of them, there was no guilt.

In almost all, there were 20 page letters sent in which the school was just told to speed things up.

In some, the schools were told to give the "alleged victim" money. Yes!

I think this should be spread far and wide and maybe someone can do an analysis of this colossal waste of time!

Letter here. Excerpt:

'As many of this states' students return to their college campuses this week, many men leave the safety of their homes to enter into a world where they could be falsely accused of rape.

As I return to my college campus, I envy the luxury of these men. If the gravest danger I faced in this world was being falsely accused of rape, I would consider myself lucky. I would be much more fortunate than the countless women who have "walk me home apps" downloaded on their phones as a security blanket for any time they go out after dark. I downloaded one after a stranger attacked a classmate right outside my dorm last September.

I would consider myself luckier than the one in five college freshmen who will be sexually assaulted before they graduate. And if the greatest danger I faced in this world was someone falsely accusing me of rape for attention or one of the countless other denunciations I've heard, I would still never blame the victim.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the 14 months since her story shocked the world, Jackie has been at the heart of a national debate about sexual assaults on college campuses, has become embroiled in a media scandal, and is the central figure in a series of defamation lawsuits.

Yet there’s one important fact missing about Jackie, the young woman who concocted a harrowing story about a gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity: her full name.

News organizations have declined to reveal Jackie’s full identity since her now-discredited story appeared in Rolling Stone magazine in November 2014. Her single-name identity — just Jackie — is in keeping with a long-standing journalistic convention against identifying alleged victims of sexual crimes to protect the accuser’s privacy.'

'In an article she herself said would “make so many men so very angry,” Chelsea G. Summers described how misandry had, in 2015, become the new tool to further the feministic movement.

Summers stated that a woman now “looks around, and she fears every man, for every man feels implicated in the blank-faced denials of these famous men.” This fear then leads to the anger behind misandry.

The article has been getting mixed reviews since no one can tell if she is actually being serious. As I read through the article, I was waiting for the moment when she would turn it around, say she was joking, or something of the like. I was waiting for the point where I could tell that she is an extremely sarcastic person. That moment never happened.

'The SFU Advocacy for Men & Boys (SFUAMB) club have become the centre of an ongoing controversy following an open letter penned by the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies student union (GSWSSU) claiming the club is “using men’s issues as a way to attack feminism.”

The letter was published on the union’s WordPress page on December 7, and was addressed primarily in response to SFU AMB’s November 8 event, “Toxic Masculinity & TOXIC FEMININITY.” The event was promoted with posters showing a biohazard sign over a venus symbol, a gesture the open letter alleges is “offensive, hostile, and aggressive.”

The main speaker for the event was Karen Straughan, a self-proclaimed “anti-feminist” and men’s rights advocate. Straughan is a prominent figure in the men’s rights activist community, as well as a well-known YouTube personality — her most popular video, “Feminism and the Disposable Male,” boasts over 1 million views.'

'The head of UCAS, Mary Curnock Cook, has suggested that male students are having their progress impeded due to a lack of male teachers. 

Her comments have been made on the same day as UCAS releasing data showing the widening gap between the sexes in higher education. 

One of her suggestions to rectify the situation is to promote teaching to men, perhaps by advertising the profession more to male students. 

She also would like to see more studies on how both male and female students learn following primary school, so the results may be used in the Government’s education policy.'

'As the mother of a boy and a girl, Helen Trussler has seen a stark contrast in their fortunes at school. While her 18-year-old daughter Beth has thrived, she feels that her once-confident son Harry, 12, has been crushed by a system that is biased against boys.

“He comes home from school in tears, tells me he’s stupid, dumb and should be in special needs,” said Trussler, 44, a home help from Guildford, Surrey.

Harry attends the same state school as Beth, who has similar intelligence — and a serious lung condition. Yet she achieved five Bs and three Cs at GCSE, while his academic prospects appear bleak.'

'Reform Judaism, the branch of Judaism with which the most American Jews identify, is a progressive movement making tremendous efforts to be welcoming and inclusive. These efforts, which are widely perceived as strengthening the community, were to be the focus of the conference. So Rebecca and I created our display materials to tap into the theme of inclusion, with our own twist, of course: a call for open welcome of non-circumcising families in Jewish life.
