Democrats vs. FIRE, Joseph Cohn

Article here. Excerpt:

'One of the things that got overlooked last week was a congressional hearing "before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce’s Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training on the topic of 'Preventing and Responding to Sexual Assault on College Campuses.'" The highlight (or lowlight depending on your view of the Constitution) came from Rep. Jared Polis, (D-CO).

Sparks flew when Rep. Polis said "It seems like we ought to provide more of a legal framework, then, that allows a reasonable likelihood standard or a preponderance of evidence standard. I mean if there’s 10 people that have been accused, and, you know, under a reasonable likelihood standard maybe one or two did it, it seems better to get rid of all 10 people. We’re not talking about depriving them of life or liberty, we’re talking about, they’re transferred to another university, for crying out loud."'
