Campus sex assault crash course: New York must not turn colleges into overseers of student sex lives
Article here. Excerpt:
'None of it was real. Not the fraternity party at the University of Virginia one September night in 2012. Not the mysterious student named “Haven” who led a freshman named Jackie into a trap. Not the gang rape in an upstairs room.
...
Swept away with the fictions should be the federal law that bars school officials from calling the cops without a student’s permission when the student reports a sexual assault.
Similarly, New York’s Legislature should stop Gov. Cuomo’s drive to enact an overreaching and unenforceable “yes means yes” policy that would turn every college in the state into an overseer of student sex lives.
Federal law makes trouble enough — including through a prohibition written into the so-called Clery Act that played out absurdly at UVA.'
