In response to ""accused or their agent", so it depends on how many university sexual misconduct hearings involve hiring lawyers, etc" by Roger More

According to the WaPo article, that's not the case.

"The most significant change would guarantee the accused the right to cross-examine their accusers, though that would have to be conducted by advisers or attorneys for the people involved, rather than by the person accused of misconduct. If requested, the parties could be in separate rooms during the cross-examination, an administration official said. They said this was done to bolster the due-process rights of the accused while assuring that victims are not directly confronted by their assailants."

Also, in most cases currently the accused can't introduce evidence. They just take down the story on both parties, and have one person decide.

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
