'NBC host Megyn Kelly on Thursday said former President Barack Obama’s administration went “too far back” in seeking to protect college students claiming they were sexually assaulted, “completely eroding” the due process rights of the accused.

Kelly made the remark on her show Megyn Kelly Today a day after The New York Times reported that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is crafting new policies on how colleges deal with sexual harassment and assault cases that would boost protections for those accused.

“I’ve been covering this closely for years, for years, and I understand the argument on the one side that we were in a position, back when I went to school, back in my day, when the pendulum was completely against the woman, right?” said Kelly, who is a victim of sexual misconduct.

“And so there was a problem that needed solving,” Kelly continued. “But I would submit that the Obama administration overcorrected the problem and swung the pendulum too far back against the accused, completely eroding their due process rights.”'

What ppl seem to miss is the daughter connection in re Obama's DoE policies that have led to accused = guilty: he has 2 daughters who were on deck to go to college. By coincidence when they are that close to going he pens an order, or issues an order, to the DoE telling them to make sure any young man accused of sexual misconduct gets the guilty verdict. In essence I honestly think this is an example of a protective dad going way too far overboard in an effort to make sure nothing bad happens to his daughters. I understand that desire. But too much of anything is likely to lead to undesirable results.
