Wrestling coach who criticized Title IX treatment of college men is fired
Article here. Excerpt:
'The UNC-Chapel Hill wrestling coach who has been a critic of how universities handle sexual assault allegations that do not go through the courts is out of a job.
After 12 seasons as head coach of the UNC wrestling program, C.D. Mock was “relieved of his duties” by UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham.
...
Toward the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Mock became the subject of much criticism for personal social media posts on a blog he set up after his son, a nationally ranked wrestler at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, was accused of rape last March by a student.
Criminal charges were not filed, but the case went through the Tennessee university’s judicial process.
Amid a heightened national attention to sexual assault allegations on college campuses, C.D. Mock, a 1982 graduate of UNC, questioned whether the due-process rights of the men accused were being trampled. He also became a critic of the “yes means yes” standard for consent to sexual activity as a replacement for the “no means no” standard.'
