'Jason Casares, the associate dean of students and deputy Title IX coordinator at Indiana University's flagship campus in Bloomington, has built a reputation as an expert on college sexual assault. He's well known enough among his peers to have been voted president, in November 2014, of the Association for Student Conduct Administration, a professional group of around 2,700 college officials. Last year, he helped write the curriculum for the group's training program for campus rape investigators.

For the ASCA's annual conference this month, Casares had planned to teach seminars on Title IX and on using a "trauma-informed approach" in sexual misconduct investigations. Then, during the conference keynote on February 3, ASCA board member Jill Creighton circulated a letter accusing him of sexual assault.

Creighton's letter described an evening last December when the two had drinks at a convention for fraternity and sorority advisers in Fort Worth, Texas. "I made the mistake of letting my guard down while socializing with Jason about Association business," Creighton wrote. "Jason took advantage of me after I had had too much to drink…I did not consent to sexual contact."

Casares declined to be interviewed, but a statement released by his lawyer says that he "categorically denies the false accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by a colleague."'

"He who sleeps with dogs at night should expect in the morning to awaken covered in fleas."

One must choose his company carefully.  Men who consort with, and indeed count themselves as fellow-travellers to feminists, are playing with fire.  It's not that they'll get burned, it's just a question of WHEN.
