I can assume the changes are really bad and BTW DeVos sucks, but I’d like to know what the changes are, since I’ve heard of this for several weeks.
See what big money will buy you. She’s never seen the walls of a public school and yet she has the gall to weaken protections for female victims. She needs to be fired immediately
She is unfit to be called a gender sister of mine. You are a disgrace to the female gender. U
That’s one issue no one can accuse Trump of a flip flop. A lifetime of pro sexual assault.
This is by far the most important thing the Secretary of Education needs to be doing. I mean, the US Education system is the envy of the world and needs little to no improvements. Except maybe getting Nambia correctly located on those maps of Africa.
When Trump expresses his wishes, well, ya gotta pay attention…
She got in a good scratch under my eye, boy did I make that bitch pay!!
Okay, ladies, you now know the rules: it’s YOUR fault if you get raped. It’s YOUR fault for dressing provocatively. It’s YOUR fault for not understanding that “boys will be boys”. Just put on your burka, keep your thoughts to yourself, read your bible and keep your legs crossed. Done and done. Next issue.
Oddly probably a few million college freshman boys would wear a short, revealing skirt if that’s what it took to get laid.
Maybe it has something to do with what her sons did… ???
There is not need for hearing. Anyone accused of sexual assault should be reported to the city, country, or state police NOT campus police. It is a criminal offense and should be handled as that. Not Betsy’s “boys will be boys” approach.
Local police can be just as stupid, insensitive and uncaring as campus police when investigating rape. If they can’t shoot it, Taze it or throw it to the ground and stomp on it whatever you’re complaining about will probably fail to hold their interest.
She didn’t go far enough. “Administrators” should not be handling serious crimes at all. Murder? call the police. Disrupting class, minor vandalism? Fine, handle it internally. Rape? Call the police. No more witch hunts. Expect the police to require evidence. Take false accusations seriously as the crimes they are.
I’ve read enough about the impact of the previous Administration’s “Dear Colleague” letter to agree, with Emily Yoffe among many others, that those rules needed revision. However Ms. DeVos is not a credible messenger for this message.
I ask to borrow a neighbors barbecue grill. It’s a quiet conversation, heard by no one else. He gives it too me. Then he calls the police and files a report I stole it. Says I walked into his garage and took it. He’s embarrassed to admit he let me borrow it, as his wife doesn’t like me, so he gets a friend to say he also watched me take it.
How the hell do I prove they’re lying?
The question is, how do they prove you stole it. Innocent until proven guilty – ever heard that one?
How cofeve of you.
There’s the rub. Absent compelling evidence rape allegations are fraught with all manner of he said/she said (he did/she did?) complications and ambiguities. I’m in the camp that says women don’t lightly or falsely make such charges. But woe to the guy that is a victim of the rare instance it happens. The emotions and sexual maturity of 18-19 year old people away from home for the first times in their lives are often a tangled mess. Combine alcohol, hurt feelings, mixed signals, jealousy, ego, competition, peer pressure, etc and trouble lurks.
Saying “stop” or “no” should suffice. And little kids shouldn’t die of cancer, either.
Except it is not rare. There are a ton of cases in which women lied.
There have been many suits by the males who were falsely accused, and by the males who were treated badly by the idiotic crap that Obama’s jackbooted thugs mandated. And all of the suits have been successful. That’s going to be the main driver of reform - if you railroad someone (male or female), you will be sued, and you will pay a lot of money.
Here’s one to watch - Yale basketball Jack Montague. He had a consensual relationship. 13 months after a night of relationship, the woman was persuaded to call the event a rape. After the charges were filed, she wanted them dropped.
Are there citations comparing the total number of rape allegations lodged at U.S. colleges and universities, with the false allegations assigned a number and contrasted with the whole?
I have seen no such numbers. I doubt they exist.
