For Students Accused Of Campus Rape, Legal Victories Win Back Rights

Article here. Excerpt:

'College students can't miss the warnings these days about the risk of campus sexual assault, but increasingly, some students are also taking note of what some perceive as a different danger.

"Once you are accused, you're guilty," says Parker Oaks, one of several Boston University students stopped randomly by NPR between classes. "We're living in a society where you're guilty before innocent now."

Xavier Adsera, another BU student, sounds a similar theme. "We used to not be fair to women on this issue," he says. "Now were on the other extreme, not being fair to guys."

As colleges crack down on sexual assault, some students complain that the schools are going too far and trampling the rights of the accused in the process. In recent months, courts around the nation have offered some of those students significant victories, slamming schools for systems that are stacked against the accused.'
