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.

Sigh ...... groups that have been defending students denied due process and suing universities for that denial need to let universities know that they will respond aggressively if universities resume denying students due process, including suing relevant adminicrats personally.
