'Columbia University is making it harder for students to hold it accountable for how the Ivy League school runs “gender-based misconduct” proceedings.
It has previously banned students from bringing a recording device into the proceedings, and now Columbia has stopped accusers and accused students from even “transcribing” what happens during proceedings.
The restrictions are being criticized by both a victim-rights group at Columbia and a lawyer for accused students.
Andrew Miltenberg, who has sued several colleges including Columbia on behalf of students found responsible for sexual assault, told The College Fix that college officials “want the ultimate discretion without having to answer for it.”'
