"the campus policy stated that intoxication creates an inability to consent." That makes it easy to establish a violation--except that in many cases the accuser has violated the letter of the policy as much as the accused has. "If both are intoxicated, they both did the same thing to each other," Sokolow writes. "Why should only the male be charged if both students behave in ways defined as prohibited by the policy?"

From sexual violence to data collection. Is sexual assault a federal crime? Are universities law enforcement agencies? "Karvonides emphasized that educators need to understand the anti-discriminatory act[.]" Harvard University administrators do not know where their property line ends, or the jurisdiction of their campus police. Expect them to comprehend the concept of discrimination? 2012 HGSE grad Argetsinger, hotline counselor for a rape crisis center, said "People who are survivors are really aware that peers who have spoken out in the past have received no justice[.]” Is that unique to rape victims? What does "justice" mean? Do U.S. DOE bureaucrats have jurisdiction over crimes prosecuted in state courts. U.S. DOE gives taxpayer funds to implement policy desires of lobbyists. Noam Chomsky: "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." Why no scrutiny of state courts in Massachusetts? Are too many judges and lawyers HLS grads?

Is this the same Civil Rights Office which refuses to enforce civil rights laws in a race neutral manner? See J. Christian Adams' book, Injustice; and John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky's book, Who's Counting? Will this investigation enforce the Title IX provisions favoring women students?
Is sexual assault a federal crime? If state, local police and campus police are unable to protect students from sexual assaults, is the FBI, who allowed crime boss, James Bulger to administer capital punishment without due process in Massachusetts to about 60 victims, better equipped? These are Department of Education bureaucrats who want jurisdiction over campus sexual assault. Is this an example of the Idiocracy taking control of the country?

Civil Rights Office Opens Investigation of College’s Handling of Sexual Assault Cases

[From article]
the Justice Department will help develop training programs in trauma care for school officers and assess different models for schools to use to adjudicate such cases, since some sexual assault survivors are wary of a legal process that can open them up to potentially painful or embarrassing questions by students or staff.
[. . .]
A new website, notalone.gov, will post enforcement actions and offer information to victims about how to seek local help and information about filing a complaint,
[. . .]
including ideas a school could consider when defining what is or isn’t sexual consent.
[. . .]
a 90-day review that included dozens of in-person and online meetings with victims, advocates and higher education representatives. It was made up of Obama’s cabinet members, including Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder.
[. . .]
many campuses have been working to make improvements, but the issue is complex and some college administrators have sought answers from the federal government about how to interpret federal law.
[. . .]
A key tool the government has against campus sexual assault is Title IX, which prohibits gender discrimination at schools that receive federal funds. The 1972 law is better known for guaranteeing girls equal access to sports, but it also regulates institutions’ handling of sexual violence and is increasingly being used by victims who say their school failed to protect them. Fifty-one campuses currently have such an ongoing investigation involving sexual violence, the Education Department said.
[. . .]
Another law that campus sexual assault cases fall under is the Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to annually report crime statistics on or near their campuses, to develop prevention policies and ensure victims their basic rights.
Do men accused of sexual assault enjoy equal protection of the laws? Why then are women getting the primary attention of the U.S. government and the college administrations? Why does the federal government deliberate the meaning of sex assault laws. Is rape a federal crime? More of the confusion of laws and jurisdiction by this racist administration which works hard to destroy the United States as a functioning society. American jurisprudence requires mens rea for a person to be convicted of a crime. Under the standards proposed by the Department of Education under Title IX being imposed on colleges there is no mens rea requirement. Only the accusation. Has the Idiocracy taken over the federal government?
