Here is a case where the judge ruled against UC San Diego because they limited cross examination of the witness. Precedent is being set that the right to cross examine your accusers must be followed, especially by a state school.

the messenger is irrelevant. This is all over every news source.psijac wrote:Deadspin is owned by gawker media. Same as jalopnik, Jezebel, and kotaku. They are at the bottom of the rung when it comes to getting news.
Do you think it's OK for university administrators to play detective and enforce laws or not?

Should University Administrators be in the Law Enforcement Business?
The recent rape incident at Baylor reinforces my belief the educations institutions such as colleges and universities should NOT be in the law enforcement business.

So, they're mad at Baylor, but IMO, Baylor had no business doing an investigation at all. Here's my reasoning. Students at a university have no formal relationship other than purchasing a service provided by that school. They are no different than people riding on a city bus. If bus passengers get in a fight, the bus driver CALLS THE POLICE. The police investigate crimes, not BUS drivers. When crimes are committed on a university campus, they POLICE need to be called. REAL City or State DPS police, not university controlled cops that will sweep it under the carpet in order to avoid making the university look bad. And administrators have no business conducting criminal investigations. They are NOT detectives.
Sure, let them write parking tickets and investigate academic infractions such as cheating and plagiarism. That should be the jurisdiction of the university, but they need to get out of the crime business, especially anything to do with sexual harassment and rape.
