'Interest is growing in using transcripts to note dismissal or expulsion after a student has been found responsible for a sexual assault based on a preponderance of evidence.
...
The idea of noting a history of sexual assault on college transcripts is one of many that have been suggested to combat the high incidence of such violence on campuses across the country. Many colleges have been accused of preferencing their sports programs over the safety of female students, turning blind eyes to the behavior of some male athletes. The SEC in June became the first athletic conference to take a united stand against allowing students with such histories to find a home on the courts or in the fields of college athletics. Continued publicity of cases in which alleged victims lie about assaults makes the job of administrators considering blanket policies a tricky one.'

'Administrators at the University of California San Diego failed to properly investigate sexual assault allegations against a male student and increased sanctions against him for appealing their decision, ruled superior court judge Joel Pressman on Friday, July 10.
A female student accused the 20-year-old male, known as John Doe, of inappropriately touching her on the morning of February 1, 2014. The male student denied these allegations and later told an officer who was investigating the accusations that the two had had sex both the night before and after the alleged touching occurred. However, John Doe's statements to investigating officers, as well as other evidence, was not allowed to be presented during the Title IX sexual misconduct hearing.

'No one (or group) made an attempt to stop the assailant who was the first to exist the train and into the crowd of families in D.C. for 4th of July celebrations. Oblivious to what harm he may continue to do, the others on the car were just relieved to see him leave.
John Daniel Davidson at The Federalistwrote, “That Spires had a knife—what the police said was a ‘small, black folding knife’ they later recovered from a trash can—is no excuse. Any two adult men in that subway car could have stopped him, no matter how crazy or strong he was, and saved Sutherland’s life.”

Prior to reading these and other stories, I would have chalked up the “beta male” stories to liberal fantasies to stomp out masculinity. But these are no longer fantasies. The beta male movement is real. It started with drugging little boys who didn’t want to sit still in class. The outcome is big boys sitting still while a man is stabbed to death. We must save the alpha males before they are extinct.'

'A California judge just issued a win to proponents of due process in campus sexual assault hearings.
Judge Joel M. Pressman deemed a University of California-San Diego campus hearing "unfair," ruling that the hearing panel limited the accused student's right to due process.
The accused student, listed as John Doe, had sued the university after being suspended for sexual assault without due process. John claimed that his right to cross-examine his accuser and adverse witnesses was limited, and Pressman agreed.'

'A father at the centre of Britain’s first known case of paternity fraud involving IVF has called for the introduction of routine DNA testing in divorce after he was tricked into raising another man’s child as his own for six years.
The man, whose identity cannot be published for legal reasons, is also calling for an overhaul of the law after a judge ruled that his ex-wife could not be forced to hand back tens of thousands of pounds in maintenance payments even though they were the result of “fraud”.
He is urging MPs to consider new legislation to recognise paternity deceit as a crime rather than a civil wrong in cases involving premeditation and large amounts of money or serious emotional damage to children or parents.
The man, a lecturer and businessman based in southern England, was cheated by his ex-wife, a successful businesswoman, into believing that the baby she conceived through fertility treatment at a clinic in Spain was his child.'

'Nobel laureate Tim Hunt, who ignited a debate over sexism in science with his comments about women at a conference last month, will not be reinstated as an honorary professor at University College London (UCL), the university has confirmed.
...
In a short statement on 9 July, the university's governing body, UCL Council, wrote that it “unanimously supports the decision taken by UCL’s executive to accept the resignation”. The council said that the extent of media interest was unprecedented and that it recognized the distress caused to Hunt and his wife Mary Collins, an immunologist at UCL. But it also said that “all parties agree that reinstatement would be inappropriate”.
Hunt declined to comment on the UCL statement but wrote in an email to Nature: "I’ll just point out that my ‘contract’ was due to expire early in 2016, and I’d already given my last lecture, so there really didn’t seem much point in reinstatement from my point of view."'

'A NEW campaign has been launched to teach workers in nightclubs and bars to spot predatory rapists.
Bystander training is being rolled out across the country to encourage staff to intervene if they see women in potential danger of sexual assault.
The training will run in parallel with a hard-hitting anti-rape initiative from Police Scotland targeting the 16-27 age group, who account for a third of victims and perpetrators of the crime.
...
“We have examples of where the predator has moved in, looked for the girl who has had a bit to drink and when she has got up to go to the toilet or the bar, has insinuated himself with her.
“The predator cuts her out of the group and he will be the one who buys her that last drink and he is the one who leaves with her. That is when that woman is at her most vulnerable.”'

'A ruling that found Iowa State University administrators improperly removed a men’s basketball player from the team for alleged sexual misconduct will stand, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
The Iowa Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal filed by the university’s governing board, which argued the discipline against former Cyclone guard Bubu Palo was appropriate for his actions toward a female student in 2012.
The decision leaves in place last year’s ruling by District Judge Steven Oeth, who threw out the university’s sanctions against Palo and questioned the accuser’s credibility. The judge said ISU President Steven Leath had kicked Palo off the team and imposed other disciplinary sanctions despite no clear evidence that the sex was nonconsensual.'

'As Laura walked into the grocery store, catching up with Janeth, she was surprised to spot someone she knew. Behind the butcher counter was a colleague from her job at Strycon, an engineering firm. She gave him a big wave. He hardly acknowledged her. "That’s Jorge!" she told Janeth. "He works in my office." He was a well-liked 24-year-old who worked a few floors up from her, designing pipes for oil transport, so she was surprised to see him waiting on customers in the shop.

Story here. And what is America's Feminist Establishment blithering about? Getting randy undergrads to sign pre-hand-holding contracts of mutual consent. Isn't it ironic that for maybe all of you, you read this story first on a MRM web site? Excerpt:
'Whatever the reason for living in this hellish place, all women are prohibited from going outside or travelling without a male relative. Islamic State imposes a strict dress code demanding all females from puberty upwards wear two gowns to hide their body shape, black gloves to cover their hands, and three veils so their faces cannot be seen, even in direct sunlight.
Women have been publicly buried alive in sand for breaking the code. One former Syrian schoolteacher trapped in the city told Channel 4 in a documentary, Escape From Isis, to be aired next week: ‘We have no freedom. We cannot go out on the balcony or look through the window. They will arrest a woman if she wears perfume or raises her voice. A woman’s voice cannot be heard.’

'An Augusta woman was arrested after she attacked her boyfriend for refusing to have sex with her.
Tabathia Lee Grooms, 35, came home around 11:30 p.m. on June 24 and attacked her boyfriend while he was sitting on the couch, according to a Richmond County Sheriff's Office incident report. She said she was angry that he refused her advances earlier that day, so she scratched him on the face, head and neck, then bit him on the arm. He ran into a bathroom and called 911.
When deputies responded to the house on Haynie Drive, Grooms would not give her name at first and threatened to run over a deputy with a baby stroller, according to the incident report. She admitted she had been drinking.
Grooms also punched her 66-year-old mother in the eye during the ordeal, according to the incident report.'

'A state attorney told the fathers of Mitchelle Blair's children they are just as responsible for the abuse, torture and death of the children whose bodies were found in March because they abandoned and deserted them.
Kelli Megyesi said Alexander Dorsey and Stephen Berry are "trying to pass the buck" for their roles in the tragedy.
Dorsey and Berry sat quietly during the tongue lashing from Megyesi during the conclusion Tuesday of a hearing about whether the parental rights should be terminated for Blair and the two men. All three are seeking rights over Blair's two surviving children, an 8-year-old boy and a 17-year-old daughter.
"They should feel guilty," she said. "They should feel culpable because they are."
...
Adam Devlin, Dorsey's attorney, said he reported in 2005 injuries to his daughter he suspected Blair of causing. Devlin said Dorsey also tried to see his children but was restricted by Blair to remain on the porch when he came to visit.

'Authorities in Texas are comparing a disturbing case of child abuse to that of treatment of prisoners of war.
KPRC in Houston reports Sandra Anna Gonzalez is accused of severely starving and beating two of her sons. She is charged with two counts of injury to a child.
The details came to light last year when an elementary school administrator reported the abuse to authorities after observing Gonzalez’s 10-year-old son with a black eye.
“The 10-year-old told the administrator that he did not want to go home because his mother was abusing him, according to court documents. School administrators immediately called authorities,” KPRC reports.
The boy told investigators his mother shot him and his brother with a BB gun.

'It makes economic sense to give the HPV vaccine to boys, say advocates who are stepping up pressure on the Ontario government to fully fund school immunization programs against the common sexually transmitted virus.
Despite the most recent public campaign to include boys as well as girls, the province's Ministry of Health is deferring the issue. The ministry says it's "reviewing" the current program to determine whether changes are required.
...
In a growing push to make the vaccine free for boys, several young gay men made themselves available to media cameras as they were vaccinated against the human papillomavirus last week at the Hassle Free Clinic in Toronto.
A ministry statement released last Wednesday referred to "economic and societal factors" as reasons the province is still considering whether to expand the program, without elaborating, beyond mentioning "cost effectiveness and impact on the health system.'
