Joe Biden Promises To Restore Obama’s Disastrous Campus Kangaroo Courts
[THEFEDERALIST] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
has learned nothing from the Title IX due process disaster plaguing America’s campuses. The former vice president has released a plan on his website to restore the B.O. regime’s infamous 2011 Dear Colleague letter, which Biden’s plan describes as outlining how to "fairly conduct Title IX proceedings." In reality, the Dear Colleague letter introduced a monstrously unfair process that has forced hundreds of young men to sue for their rights ‐ and reputations ‐ in federal courts.

An accused’s rights to confront his or her accuser through cross examination and to have a neutral adjudicator have long been considered the very basics of due process. In the name of protecting women, the 2011 guidance encouraged universities to abandon these well-tested pillars in favor of a single-investigator model, in which a Title IX administrator both elicits the stories from the involved parties and rules on the outcome. The Dear Colleague letter also pushed universities into lowering the standard of proof and discouraged any kind of cross examination that might probe discrepancies in an alleged victim’s story.

Cynthia Garrett is a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, attorney and co-president of Families Advocating for Campus Equality (FACE), an organization that advocates for due process and offers resources to the falsely accused. She says she is deeply concerned that Biden appears to be unaware of the downsides of the 2011 guidance.

"It’s particularly concerning that a presidential candidate seems oblivious to the unintended repercussions of a policy he championed. Over 500 lawsuits have been filed by accused students since the 2011 Dear Colleague letter, resulting in at least 161 court decisions in these students’ favor and over 100 pre-decision settlements," Garrett said.

#1 Shitshow, Campus Edition.

Nothing shows better the stupidity and corruption of our virtue-signaling, 'woke' political class than the horrors of these Shitshow star chambers where college boys watch their lives being ruined by anonymous accusers, with no right to confront, no right to counsel, no right to cross-examine, no presumption of innocence.

Monstrous indeed.

Anyone who supports the continuation of these totalitarian procedures is not fit to hold any office.

#2 This is not stupid. This is an attempt to continue the march through the institutions. Since DJT is transforming the judiciary the Marxists have to construct an alternative court system with the type of totalitarian rules they prefer.

What you see in these campus tribunals is what they will instrument in all society as soon as they hold the power.

It's all about the power for these two bit Stalins.

#6 This is like the arguments against Sharia Law Courts in the U.S. You cannot have two systems of justice. Campuses are not special despite what occupants might think.
