If you have been paying attention to the news stories out of college campuses over the last decade or so, then you’ve heard a lot of talk of sexual assaults on college campuses, and the movement to try and stop future assaults from happening. The government has tried pushing harsher legislation to combat rape on college campuses — but many young men are being convicted in the court of public opinion instead of a court of law.
The legislation has resulted in many male students being expelled from universities just for being accused of sexual assault. There have been a number of cases where the male student was found to be completely innocent, but the damage was already done. These students were expelled from their current universities — and many are unable to enroll anywhere else because of the stigma attached to them.

Ridiculous
come try it here and we will see
SOOOO, they just over rode a law, already on the books, and made a new law?? Does that mean that the convicts can have their sentence overturned???? If it wasn’t ok then, why is ok NOW? (evelyn mabe)
I’m pretty sure “consent” doesn’t include nodding her head in agreement for her…
Wow how nice for men. Right.
Then the next targets for the same offence should be those who ruled this decision. There’s a legal precedence so they will get off any charges.
This is not right. Male judge …right??????
They must not have Teeth. LOL
