There was bound to be push-back against the campus sexual assault regime that the Obama regime has been promoting since it is so blatantly stacked against the defendant. Last year, faculty members at Harvard Law wrote a letter explaining why they found the rules intolerable. As we read in this Washington Examiner story, a judge in California has just held that the procedures used by UC-San Diego in its hearing and subsequent punishment of “John Doe” were unfair and violated his right to due process of law.
The judge, Joel Pressman, found several problems in the way the school handled the complaint, among them the fact that the accused was not allowed to directly question his accuser, but could only submit questions. Of the 32 he submitted, the chair saw fit to ask only nine.
This is a win for the rule of law, but as the writer, Ashe Schow points out, “Although John Doe received some justice in this case, there a dozens more accused students waiting for court rulings — and even more than that who don’t have the resources to hire an attorney and fight their schools.”
