How Joe Biden Is Using the Controversial Title IX Program to Destroy Innocent Men on College CampusesJuly 7, 2022 (5h ago). On Thursday, the Biden Administration announced it will be reviving one of the most odious policies of the Obama Administration. And then, for good measure, it will make said policy an order of magnitude worse.
The policy in question isObama’s Title IX rules governing how schools handle sexual misconduct on campus. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination at any school receiving federal funding. Like all civil rights law, the scope of Title IX expanded dramatically, and in 2011 President Obama took it to it to new, ridiculous heights. The administration required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of the evidence” standard for judging sexual assault allegations, where if an accused person is deemed even 50.01% likely to be guilty, they must be held responsible. Schools were also encouraged to erect star chambers with single investigators, where accused students were denied any right to cross-examine an accuser or even see all the evidence against them. If they resisted, colleges were threatened with the loss of federal money—including access to student loans. For the vast majority of colleges, such a loss would effectively be a death sentence.
In one of his most underrated moves toMake America Great Again, President Trump quickly repealed Obama’s policy. That should have sent it permanently to the ash bin of history.
But alas, no. Not only is the policy back, but activists have concocted a version that is far more wicked than its predecessor.
The new Biden regulations, which total more than 700 pages, once again encourage a single-investigator model that is tailor-made for de facto activists. Once these activists become “investigators”, they can then deliver verdicts motivated more by anti-male ideology and feminist animus than evidence. Biden’s rules also remove any right for accused students to confront or cross-examine their accusers. In fact, accused students don’t even have the right to see all the evidence against them; they are only granted a right to see a “description” of the evidence.
And as an added bonus, the new rules may make it a presumptiveTitle IX violation to “misgender” a personby failing or refusing to use their “preferred pronouns.”
If and when these rules are implemented, it will be a calamity. Free speech on campus will be gutted, liars and hysterics indulged, sinister bureaucrats empowered, and countless innocents around the country punished for nothing. To prove it, we only have to look at what happened under Obama’s policies. So now, Revolver will revisit six of the most ridiculous Title IX cases produced by the never-ending campus sex hysteria.
Kafka’s Trial at Amherst
In February 2012, a male student at Amherst College — he was Asian, so we’ll call him John Ngo — got drunk and cheated on his girlfriend by hooking up with her roommate — she was very slutty, so we’ll call her Jane Ho. That may have been a moral failing, but otherwise nothing came of it until a whopping 22 months later, when, in December of 2013, Amherst notified Ngo that the girl had accused him of rape because she had been drunk at the time. Ngo was also drunk, but a recurring feature of post-Obama Title IX cases is that a mutual drunken hookup is actually rape, but only for men.
To defend himself, Amherst supplied Ngo with a list of potential “advisors” who could shepherd him through the process. But Ngo couldn’t confront his accusers, and in fact, neither could his advisor (an Amherst administrator with a degree in “social justice education”). The advisor could only suggest questions that Amherst’s solitary investigator might ask the accuser.
After he was expelled, Ngo hired a lawyer who quickly found many facts that school’s shoddy investigator had not. His accuser — had been so traumatized by her tryst that she immediately texted a residential advisor “Ohmygod I jus did something so fuckig stupid” and fretted that everybody would soon know about the encounter, and Ngo was “too drunk to make a good lie out of shit.” And all of that was bad, because Jane Ho was actually interested in having sex with another student… which she did, later that same night (welcome to life amongst future “elites” on the modern-day degenerate college campus). In fact, in her text messages to a friend, Ho complained not about being assaulted, but about her other paramour taking until 5 am to have sex with her. Not exactly an abused lady of virtue or a “damsel in distress”, this Jane Ho.
Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, Ngo had to fight through the courts for years…
