College Sexual Assault Discipline Bill Passes California State Senate
Submitted by Mastodon on Tue, 2015-04-28 13:23
Story here. Excerpt:
'Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s Senate Bill 186 (SB 186 [link added]) cleared the senate floor Monday, extending California community colleges’ jurisdiction beyond their campuses, allowing them to discipline students who commit sexual assault and sexual exploitation off-campus with suspension or expulsion from the college.
The senate passed the bipartisan bill unanimously, 35-0, and will now send it to the California State Assembly. The original bill language allowed community colleges to discipline students for any off-campus crimes deemed “egregious,” but an amendment limited the authority to sexual assault cases.
Jackson said the amendment was intended to clarify the bill’s purpose to create a mechanism for accountability as part of the greater effort to prevent sexual violence on college campuses.
...
“There was no opposition — only concerns that there is due process,” Jackson said. “As a lawyer and as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m a firm and strong believer in the due process requirements and need to ensure the hearing process is a fair one for all parties involved.”'

It SEEMS this is good...
Did you read the law...
The following can be cause for expulsion...
(a) Continued disruptive behavior, continued willful
7disobedience, habitual profanity or vulgarity, or the open and
8persistent defiance of the authority of, or persistent abuse of,
9college personnel.
These are all tactics used by the left, specifically that feminist professor who attacked the anti-abortion protestor.
So, now, according to the law, if they go after men for sexual assault, and not feminists for civil disobedience, that seems to be a title 9 offense.
not good, IMO...
I don't think its a good idea to give any agency a free pass to extend punishments beyond their jurisdiction; and I have an extreme mistrust of the school systems and dept of education. The dept of education is becoming more like "big brother". BTW part of Hilary's plan is to incorporate community colleges into the public school system (instead of a kindergarten thru 12th grade system, she wants a preK -14 year system, which of course also extends the teacher's union which funds the democratic party)
And in regards to the clause that Thomas quoted above about vulgarity, I wonder if feminist college students will stil be allowed to display vulgar images and "art" of vaginas? (see my link below. Suitable for work, no nudity. college allows billboards of vaginas - as it has something to do with abortion rights/female empowerment)

I think there are other examples of colleges promoting the vagina monologue and female empowerment by placing pics or statues of vaginas around campus (without thinking I tried to google "college" "vagina pics" in the same sentence and well you know, lots of 'other stuff' popped up)
How do feminist get away with such vulgar behavior? Will the anti-vulgar clause apply to them? I would hope so, but I wont hold my breath.
How far?
Does it extend to Maine? Australia? Brazil? Canada? Alaska?
That troubles me. The college should have no jurisdiction off campus.

Quick note to Kris and El Cid...
I agree with both of you on the aspects of this law.
Oops ! - I had not raised the sarcasm flag this time.
