Article here. Excerpt:

'The new task force includes a cross-section of faculty, students and staff who regularly deal with sexual harassment and assault, including counselors and coordinators who handle rape prevention education, student complaints and investigations. There is a law enforcement representative and a university attorney, as well as a professor who does research on violence against women, a member of a feminist student group and the director of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer center on campus.
...
Already, differing opinions began to emerge Wednesday. Several members said there should be some recognition that women are disproportionately affected by sexual violence and that a “fair and balanced” standard may not work in a society where men and women are not always treated equally.'

... and might never, but if sexual battery is a crime, shouldn't the police be handling it-- and the D.A., too? Why are college bureaucrats, students, and ppl w/out legal training being allowed to, in essence, abrogate the rights (or try to) of a person who claims to be a sexual assault victim by funneling their complaint into a college bureaucracy instead of where it ought to be going: the police.

The answer of course is that it really isn't abt seeking the truth, or justice for anyone. It's abt a feminist agenda being used to drive men off college campuses by creating an environment wherein a mere anonymous allegation of anything is enough to get him thrown out of college.

I think if I had to go today, seeing what's happening these days, I'd probably go to a men's college. I predict that, while it may take some time, we'll see more men's colleges open over the next few decades. They would in essence be refuges for higher education-seeking young men from toxic feminism on typical co-ed campuses.
