How Obama Bureaucrats Are Aiming To Deny Students Constitutional Due Process

Article here. Excerpt:

'Under the Obama administration, the Office for Civil Rights “has sacrificed the basic safeguards of the lawmaking process,” wrote 16 University of Pennsylvania Law School professors, according to The Washington Post.

Take, for example, the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees everyone in America the right to a “public trial,” the right “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation” and the right “to be confronted with the witnesses.”

The letter from the Obama administration’s Office for Civil Rights guarantees exactly none of these things and, in fact, directs school officials to avoid providing these basic rights to students accused of sexual violence.

The letter instructs school officials to allow students to make sex-crime allegations while keeping the student against whom the allegations are made totally in the dark about who has made the charge.

Moreover, charges must be kept secret.

“[I]nformation should only be shared with individuals who are responsible for handling the school’s response to incidents of sexual violence,” the letter instructs.

“In instances affecting many students, an alleged perpetrator can be put on notice of allegations of harassing behavior and be counseled appropriately without revealing, even indirectly, the identity of the student complainant.”

The Office for Civil Rights also clearly and explicitly states that a person charged with a sex crime on an American college campus is not entitled to any hearing.'
