"accused or their agent", so it depends on how many university sexual misconduct hearings involve hiring lawyers, etc - Roger More Nov 16, 08:39 4
- 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
