Law Professors Against Title IX: Faculty Worried About Due Process on Campus

Article here. Excerpt:

'It was quite the packed panel discussion: a dozen mostly left-leaning speakers, each allotted 10 minutes to give their thoughts on a controversial topic, Grappling with Campus Rape. The venue was the American Association of Law Schools’ 2016 meeting in New York City in early January. The lineup consisted primarily of actual law professors, and featured some undeniable heavy hitters on the subject of campus rape, including Michelle Anderson, dean of the City University of New York School of Law, and Mary Koss, a Regents’ professor of health at the University of Arizona and the originator of the one-in-five statistic about rape prevalence.

The setup was predictable. The answers, on the other hand, were frequently shocking.

To be fair, many of the panelists expressed at least some enthusiasm for the federal government’s recent efforts to compel universities to adjudicate rape—unsurprising, considering their liberal-leaning politics. But nearly all the speakers had something negative to say about the way anti-harassment guidance is being interpreted by government authorities, and many were openly hostile toward the idea that the prevention of rape was a campus matter. Several others were plainly disturbed by the pitiful state of due process rights on campus.'
