Feds Fuel Anti-Sex Inquisition on Campus

Article here. Excerpt:

'A male student scored a major victory in his lawsuit against the University of Southern California, which kicked him off campus for a remarkable non-crime: failing to de-escalate an orgy. This was a crazy case, and the decision in his favor impugns not just USC, but the federal government’s entire strategy to combat rape by making colleges deal with it.

Over the past five years, the Obama administration’s Education Department has instructed universities to take sexual harassment and violence more seriously as part of their obligation to obey Title IX, a little-known gender equality law. While that all may sound like a good thing, the policies universities have been forced to put in place are shockingly illiberal, leading to routine violations of students’ due process rights, their right to free expression, and even their right to sleep together.

The student who filed the lawsuit against USC—“John Doe”—was suspended for allegedly sexually assaulting a female victim, Jane. He denies the assault took place. That’s hardly surprising. But what’s notable about this case is that Jane actually agreed. She consistently described their sex as consensual in interviews with USC investigators.'
