Let’s understand that we’re talking about due process rights here. While this isn’t a criminal complaint, the ramifications for someone’s life can be significant. Getting expelled from a university doesn’t exactly make it easier to get into another school, and if you’re looking at something like medical or law school afterward, give it up. The impact is more than some money like in a civil case.

It’s even cost people their lives in a far more literal sense.

And these systems are horrific, particularly for men at colleges that have swallowed the “believe all women” mantra wholeheartedly.

What many schools did, and what they’ll be returning to, is a system where a single party investigates the incident and reaches a determination, all without any real defense being possible by the accused.
