Biden admin ditches major due process protection in campus sexual assault hearings
August 29, 2021 | BPR Wire
Angela Morabito, Campus Reform
The Department of Education has announced that it is no longer enforcing a piece of the Trump-era Title IX rule that helped protect due process rights for students.
The specific provision blocked Title IX officials from deciding the outcome of a hearing based on statements made by people who were not willing to be cross-examined. For instance, officials could not rely on the contents of a text message to decide the outcome of a hearing unless the person who wrote that message was willing to answer questions about it. The same is true for other written statements, including police reports.
