Explained Sevcenko: “FIRE has been arguing that university judiciaries are ill-equipped to handle such serious allegations for years, starting with the case of Caleb Warner. Warner was expelled from the University of North Dakota for sexual assault, a decision the school refused to reconsider after the police issued a warrant for his accuser’s arrest for filing a false police report.”
She said any college administrator “will tell you, school disciplinary hearings are not designed to be the strict equivalent of a criminal trial.”
“But branding someone a rapist without the benefit of meaningful due process protections betrays the fundamental principles of justice. And because courts are often very deferential to internal school disciplinary procedures, when a sitting judge nevertheless publicly casts doubts on those internal procedures, it would be foolish to ignore the possibility that serious reform may be needed.”
WND reported last month that there was a high level of concern because of the Obama administration’s efforts to have such campus cases decided on a “preponderance” of evidence.
Several college cases of abuses of false claims of rape on campus.
