College anti-rape advocate wants to do away with burden of proof

Article here. Excerpt:

'Stanford student Elisabeth Dee, class of 2016, one of the organizers of a demonstration called “Carry that Weight” where students were urged to carry a pillow or mattress around for a day to symbolize the burden placed upon survivors of sexual assault, has called on the school to actively reduce the burden of proof required to find someone guilty of sexual assault. Stanford already uses the lowest burden of proof legally permissible, "preponderance of the evidence," and young men now have fewer rights in college sex tribunals than illegals crossing the border, but for Dee, that's too many. She proceeded to mouth a hostility to due process that may be unprecedented in this blog's reporting, and that's saying a lot.

Stanford, Dee clucked, "puts so much emphasis on the burden of proof." The school should not be focusing on "defending the perpetrator, because essentially burden of proof is a defense of the perpetrator.” Dee continued: “No one should have to" prove they've been raped. "You should take people at their word because nobody would lie about this kind of painful experience.” (Both the article and Dee use the term "burden of proof" when it appears they really mean "standard of proof.")'
