Cautious optimism for expelled Oberlin College male student after appellate argument
John Doe v. Oberlin College is a case we have covered for almost two years. While it doesn’t get the media coverage of Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College, it’s every bit as important, addressing alleged systemic abuses at Oberlin College in its treatment of male students.
By way of background, we first...
Court: Expelled Johnson & Wales male student gets trial on claim of unfair disciplinary process
In January 2018, I wrote about the Kafkaesque campus sexual assault tribunal at Johnson & Wales alleged in lawsuit.
The case involved all-too-common really troubling procedural twists:
Male student lawsuit against Oberlin College dismissed despite possibly flawed sexual assault disciplinary decision
In 2017, Oberlin College was sued by an expelled male student who had been found responsible for sexual assault in a campus disciplinary hearing. The student, identified only as John Doe, alleged a seriously flawed hearing process as well as discrimination on the basis of sex because the process allegedly was...

In January 2018, I wrote about a lawsuit by an expelled male student that alleged an outrageous denial of fundamental fairness and failure to follow university rules, Kafkaesque campus sexual assault tribunal at Johnson & Wales alleged in lawsuit:
Kafkaesque campus sexual assault tribunal at Johnson & Wales alleged in lawsuit
The more cases of campus sexual assault adjudications we cover, the more we see patterns.
There frequently is an ongoing consensual sexual relationship in which only some of the interactions were claimed to be non-consensual; a delay in reporting the alleged assault; a process in which the accused is left uncertain as...
Two moments of sanity from California Gov. Jerry Brown
Our “foreign” correspondent in California, Leslie Eastman, has made a blog career of documenting the tarnishing of the Golden State by insane legislative and regulatory policies, most of which are rubber-stamped by Governor Jerry Brown.
But this week there were two astounding moments of sanity from the Governor.
Cornell’s kangaroo court for accused men
For several years we have been covering the near elimination of due process rights for men accused of sexual misconduct on campuses.
Universities, compelled by a directive from the Obama Department of Education under threat of loss of federal funding, have combined with toxic radical feminist “rape culture” warriors to create tribunals in which...
Trey Gowdy Grills DHS Official on Due Process
Last week, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) schooled an official from the Department of Homeland Security on our Constitutionally protected right to due process.
“Let me ask you another question about the terrorism list, what process if afforded a U.S. citizen before they go on that list?” Gowdy asked.
After a brief pause, Ms....
College Sex Contracts – Life Imitates Parody
We have been covering the absurdity of the “Yes Means Yes” movement, and the violation of fundamental due process rights under the banner of “rape culture,” for quite some time:

Accused on campus: Charges dropped, but the infamy remains
The number of lawsuits by men wrongly accused of sexual assault on campus is increasing almost by the day.
Most remain silent, preferring to go the “John Doe” route to avoid further reputational damage. Slowly, however, some men are going public, often where there names were already published anyway in...
Male on leave of absence contests discipline for off-campus conduct with former student
Yet another Complaint has been filed by a male student disciplined after a campus adjudication of alleged sexual assault, this time against the California Regents for the conduct involving UC-Santa Barbara.

Campus “consent” wars: Expelled male student sues Cornell Univ.
We have previously focused on the rising number of lawsuits by male students against universities over alleged mistreatment in response to claims of sexual assault:
Washington Supreme Court Gets It Right on Due Process
In Washington State, the burden of proof of consent in a sexual assault case has traditionally fallen not on the alleged rape victim, but on the accused. A recent decision by the Washington Supreme Court, however, has changed the standard, and given hope to due process advocates:
The court in its 6-3...
FIRE shreds Ezra Klein and denial of due process to college men
WAJ: This is a guest post by Robert L. Shibley, Senior Vice President of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). As “Yes Means Yes” mania sweeps across college campuses, and the lives of innocent men falsely accused are ruined in a witch hunt...
Affirmative Sexual Consent? There’s an app for that.
On Monday, we told you about a new California law that essentially outlaws sloppy, reckless sex between college students. Now, a new app has launched that seeks to eliminate all debate over whether or not that hot guy or girl at the bar is “good to go”—home with you.

California outlaws drunk, sloppy, reckless consensual campus sex
We’ve written previously about California’s proposed “affirmative consent” bill, which codifies — for lack of a more delicate terminology — what constitutes acceptable foreplay between consenting adults on college campuses.
