John and Jane, two students in Purdue University's Navy ROTC program, began dating in the fall of 2015 and had consensual sex 15 to 20 times. According to John, Jane's behavior became increasingly erratic, culminating in a suicide attempt he witnessed that December. They broke up in January 2016, after John tried to get Jane help by reporting her suicide attempt to two resident assistants and an adviser.
Three months later, in the midst of the university's s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Jane alleged that John had sexually assaulted her on two occasions. Those charges ultimately led Purdue, a state university in West Lafayette, Indiana, to suspend John for a year, forcing him to resign from ROTC and ending his plans for a career in the Navy. The process that led to those results, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett concluded in a 2019 opinion for a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, "fell short of what even a high school must provide to a student facing a days-long suspension."
The case, which Ben McDonald covered here last year, illustrates the extent to which universities, responding to a 2011 "Dear Colleague" letter from the U.S. Department of Education, created procedures that effectively presumed the guilt of students charged with sexual assault. That letter warned university officials that their handling of such cases would be scrutinized under Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. The department broadened the definition of "sexual harassment," required schools to assess charges based on a "preponderance of the evidence" (meaning they are more likely than not to be true) rather than a stricter standard, and encouraged other short cuts by universities keen to maintain federal funding.

Obama took feminism’s All Men Are Bad ideology and made it policy on college campuses.
Amy Coney Barrett’s objection to that is good.
Liberal media can do as many hit pieces on Barrett as they want.
But it won’t matter. She will be sitting in a seat on the SC before the election.
Men are ALREADY below 40% of college/university students - just how low are they trying to drive it?
I wonder how often relationships have unfolded this way on campuses over the years.
In retrospect, I think the lesson for young men is do not date. /s
It's not liberal media or a hit piece. Reason has been fighting this nonsense for a long time.
I did not read the entire article. Just a few lines.
My bad.
We should return them (woke feminists) to Venus, not send them to Mars.
Even Stalin’s notorious show trials were better than this. At least they took the trouble to manufacture and present evidence.
White, heterosexual males are the new minority.
And yet every week there are articles expressing shock that the current young males are reluctant to tie the marriage knot.
Too bad she embraced Jacobson, forced vaccines and lockdowns!
Reversing Title 9 on this double standard, with men on college campuses not given the right to due process, unable to defend themselves, is perhaps the most important thing this year that Betsy Devos has done.
The article states that the case is still unresolved this is five years after the alleged incident
Everyone involved here should be fired
There’s no excuse for this level of bias and incompetence
It goes way beyond college campuses. After one incident in 1997, I have avoided all non business relationships since.
