Campus rights group to challenge federal sexual assault mandate

Article here. Excerpt:

'Colleges and universities may one day be freed from the requirement to adjudicate felonies, if this campus rights group gets its way.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education plans to officially challenge the Education Department's mandate that schools adjudicate campus sexual assault. Currently, the agency's Office for Civil Rights, through a 2011 "guidance" document — known as a "Dear Colleague" letter — requires schools to create pseudo-court systems to determine whether students have committed sexual assault.

FIRE is seeking "a student or institution to challenge OCR's abuse of power" and has offered to pay the legal fees of whoever takes on this task.'
