The real point here is one that was made numerous times over the course of this thread. The colleges are not permitted to to comment on these cases because of confidentiality issues. Their side comes out only if a court filing is made and gets published by the press. How can anyone evaluate any issue with only half the information necessary to make a reasoned judgement? Unless of course you are so blinded by your own biases that you couldn’t care less what the other side is.
Sadly, we have someone heading the DOE who was gullible enough to fall into the same trap. The LA Times published this filing one day after she made a public statement saying the “Boermeester case exemplified how broken the Title IX system is.” She got a pie in the face. I notice in her just released guidance the opening salvo makes it quite clear that colleges have an obligation to investigate third party complaints whether or not the student wants the school to take any action.
“More Title IX weirdness” my derriere. This is Title IX working at it’s best.
