Documents reveal due process concerns for UVA by Governor

Story here. Bear in mind, McAuliffe is a dyed-blue Democrat and been a cheerleader for The Hildebeast in years past... and even *he* has "concerns". Excerpt:

'The University of Virginia waged an intense fight over the summer to influence the conclusions of a federal investigation into sexual violence at the school, newly obtained documents show, while Virginia’s governor personally pressed the nation’s top education official to ensure that the elite public flagship would not be unfairly tarnished.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) [link added] urged U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan to give U-Va. a chance to review the findings of the four-year investigation of the school’s record on sexual assault before they were made public, saying he feared that U-Va. was being denied “very basic requirements of due process.”

McAuliffe also expressed concern about what he viewed as an “adversarial” posture from the investigative agency — the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights — toward U-Va. The governor said he preferred “constructive and cooperative” approaches to reform.

“I respectfully urge you to act in order to guarantee that the very important work of OCR at the University of Virginia is not undermined by any unfair or unjust process,” McAuliffe wrote Duncan on Aug. 14.'
