PC Gone Wild

UT Arlington set out upon a Title IX Witchhunt that culminated in the death of the accused student, by suicide. To put this in a similar perspective, one would have to go back to the early sixties in an incident where three civil rights workers were murdered by the KKK after being arrested by the local Sheriff. The suicide of the student may bar a murder investigation, but the door is wide open for a 1983/1984 Civil Rights investigation. In isn’t enough that the family should prevail in a lawsuit. Some college administrators need to go to jail for a civil rights violation. Male-accused-student-commits-suicide-school-railroading/

The schools start these witch hunts under Title IX and are supposed to create due process rules under administrative law. Most actions are never scrutinized on appeal to determine if the due process protections are sufficient. I would maintain that most administrative procedures are inadequate, wouldn’t stand up to Fourteenth Amendment scrutiny and are therefore a violation of the accused rights. In this case, the University is an organ of the state, so Constitutional protections apply. A private college might argue that they were enforcing a contract, to which both parties agreed. However, once the private school takes Title IX money, they become a governmental player, and the Fourteenth Amendment applies. Constitution/us/amendment-14/36-procedural-due-process-civil.html

The UT Arlington case is even more egregious in that an administrator hijacked the process and created her own kangaroo court and made no attempt to follow established policies. She should be held to the same standard as a police officer who chooses to use excessive force. She bludgeoned the accused with a perverted system of her making to deny him his rights.
