Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, faced a Title IX investigation from the U.S. Department of Education over an essay on sexual paranoia among Millennials and their professors and administrators on college campuses (which appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education). Now, Harper Collins published her account of what happened, which also includes content and background on reasons for an increasing lack of due process, the emergence of sexual paranoia, and the stepped-up Title IX investigations.
Kipnis pointed out that a Title IX investigation from the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (known as OCR) "can last two to four years" and can cost a school between $200,000 to $350,000. She found that Stanford, Princeton, Cornell and Harvard "have all faced at least three investigations each." She also discovered that since 2011, 321 investigations have been undertaken, with 270 investigations at 190 schools. Kipnis estimated it costs at least $60 million to conduct these investigations and it could threaten up to 25 million people working or studying at college campuses, if falsely accused.
She also claimed that the Department of Education's "Dear Colleague" letter, which instituted OCR policies and investigations, brought this sexual paranoia to college campuses.
Her book also discussed several instances of college professors who found themselves out of a job when accused by students of sexual harassment and the like. Some of these professors lost their life savings, along with their careers. Instead of focusing on hypotheticals, Kipnis focused on the real-life experiences of some of her academic colleagues to display how Title IX has gone far from its intended course.
It is an important read for those concerned about due process, government overreach and Millennials' hyper-sensitivity over sex.
A government powerful enough to give you everything
is also powerful enough take everything from you.
If some snowflake is offended then theres an investigation.
They should call these BS suits the full employment of grievance attorneys act.
Do away with title 9 at the same time as the department of “education” and its ocr.
Save money while saving education.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch is approved but turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Dennis Prager has her on right now!
Just more of Obama’s ‘legacy’.
