  - According to the WaPo article, that's not the case. - Inigo Nov 16, 08:45 3
    - Sorry, but what's not the case? (Thanks for the c&p though, I am out of free WaPo articles on my laptop) - Roger More Nov 16, 09:13 2
      - I meant it's not right that the accused themselves could cross-examine the accuser. - Inigo Nov 16, 09:19
      - (Oh, I see, my quotation marks around "accused or their agent", which isn't in the quote you posted) -- (edited) - Roger More Nov 16, 09:15
There's a whole load of parsing here. For one thing, it's not about criminal complaints. It only deals with how higher ed deals with accusations. - Mop Nov 16, 08:27
I can't see how this would hold up in a court -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 08:25

oh god dammit -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 08:23
that will do WONDERS for encouraging victims to come forward. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:20 1
- Part of a larger GOP effort to discourage college enrollment. -- nm - Mop Nov 16, 08:23
