A school that actually observed due process in a rape case gets flayed
Article here. Excerpt:
Vassar, that quintessential liberal arts college – its homepage today features “a pivotal figure from Vassar’s LGBTQ history.”
Also, it’s a haven for rapists.
That’s the takeaway from a confused columnist – not even at Vassar, but the University of North Carolina’s Daily Tar Heel – who scolds the school for following due process.
...
She claims the panel that heard her case judged the accused student not guilty because “there was [not] enough evidence to prove that my perpetrator was aware that I was incapable of consent.” (This is noteworthy because Vassar was actually sued by an accused student for how he was treated during the school’s rape investigation.)
Whatever happened – these investigations generally aren’t made public unless they are subject to outside litigation, and Amicucci hasn’t outed her alleged rapist so he can give his side – the panel appears to have followed due process. But that’s not the point for social justice warriors like the Daily Tar Heel‘s Wilder:
"Whether the school in question is eight miles away or 570, it’s every student’s responsibility to keep putting pressure on schools to do whatever it takes to end assault on campus."
Even browbeat them for giving accused students some semblance of due process.'
