The problem at American universities

'Claims by certain sensationalist politicians are often repeated by  adoring and equally sensationalist news media. That was certainly the case when a study by RTI International claimed one in five female college students in America is a victim of sexual assault.

“This is not your fight alone,” said President Obama in a public service announcement heralding his “It’s On Us” national campaign. “This is not your fight alone. This is on all of us, every one of us, to fight campus sexual assault. You are not alone. And we have your back and we are going to organize campus by campus, city by city, state by state. The entire country is going to make sure that we understand what this is about and that we’re going to put a stop to it.”

And many a college campus enacted sweeping, totalitarian sex codes to deal with the fictitious “crisis.” As with any law, the violation(s) prohibited must be defined. The University of Michigan, for instance, partially defines sexual violence as “discounting the partner’s feelings regarding sex; criticizing the partner sexually… withholding sex and affection; always demanding sex.”

K. C. Johnson, a history professor at Brooklyn College and City University of New York Graduate Center, said a male student accused of a sex crime may have an “advocate” at his college hearing, provided he or she is not a lawyer.

Under new federal guidelines handed down by the Department of Education, campuses are required to presume the accuser is telling the truth and that the accused is guilty until proven innocent.

The modern university campus is not so much an institution of higher learning as it is a testing laboratory of totalitarian control.  Draconian codes governing sex or speech are designed to protect students and faculty from feeling “hurt” or “unsafe” by challenges to their politically correct lunacy. And, more important, to criminalize all activity, from expressions in the bedroom to those in the public square, that do not conform to the utopian dreams of the dreamers.'
