Title IX is trash though and universities should never have been put on the hook for investigating and punishing students for sex crimes. I’m not crying over that at all.

Of course you aren’t.

Why “of course”?

The sexual harassment aspects of Title IX didn’t just protect women in college. I don’t like sharing personal stories so I’ll keep it brief, but I had to seek assistance from campus resources for help dealing with it when it happened to me. Anyway, your summary of Title IX is totally uninformed.

I never said it only affected, or was only meant for, women, or that the scope of the Obama admin’s recommendations was entirely bad. Their recommendations have, however, proven destructive for young men (and even women) accused of sexual assault by denying them due process. Placing the onus on educational institutions’ staff – who aren’t professional investigators – to conduct what should be a criminal investigation and issue punitive action is the wrong approach.

I’m sorry for what happened to you, regardless.

It’s cool. I don’t take his posts seriously anymore.

I’m bowing out of this thread now.

It’s no big deal, but the funny thing is that they did actually did very little. It took at least a month of pestering from me just to move me to a new roommate down the hall and no one was punished at all. It makes no sense to me to scrap the entire thing for no reason other than that there are some unfair and unjust cases. Wouldn’t rational reform be the proper option?

Feeling is mutual.

“Anymore”?

I was under the impression you make a point not to take anything around here seriously, Frink. Even if people ask you to.

One last reply so as not to be rude…yes, revising the guidelines that weren’t working would’ve been sufficient. Unfortunately, Trump is a sledgehammer, not a scalpel. His general approach of “regulation is bad” and “erase Obama’s legacy” prevailed.

Doesn’t that make him kind of terrible? I don’t understand why this is constantly advertised as though it’s a virtue of Trump’s.

I don’t think Jay was saying that was a good thing, just making an observation.

It’s hard to tell given his near universal unwillingness to actually put his opinions forward in this thread. I have to make educated guesses and since he has an obvious pro-Trump bias, I didn’t take that observation as though it was a criticism.

Jay has put his opinions out there front and center. And I see no pro-Trump bias.

Well he did (supposedly) vote for Hillary, but that was before he was (certainly) captured by the Pod People.

I don’t understand how you couldn’t see it. The refusal to acknowledge most of the President’s faults is a pro-Trump bias in my opinion.

C’mon you’re just letting liberal media do your thinking. I heard them on The Liberal Media show saying Jay was pro-Trump yesterday.

As Jay suggested it’s tedious and unnecessary to constantly criticise Trump. I call that preservation of sanity, not bias.

Jay doesn’t like what the Obama Administration did under Title IX and so he liked the reversal of the policy under Trump. It doesn’t follow that he has a pro-Trump bias or that he doesn’t believe there are better alternative policies.

Based on his lack of commentary we must assume he hates them and thinks they should be replaced by Fridays. Don’t know why he’s refusing to say what he really feels about Tuesday, so let’s assume the worst.
