The Obami tell colleges to poke their eye out on sexual assault and colleges comply?

The administration has instructed upon pain of loss of federal student loan proceeds that colleges 'prosecute' sexual assault in ways unheard of in Anglo Saxon countries for hundreds of years. By doing so the colleges open themselves up to huge lawsuits for gender discrimination. Lawsuits that men are winning easily. For example:

Continuing to police rape without respect for due process is also generating lawsuits, however. In a recent case, University of Cincinnati student Ethan Peloe was convicted of rape by the campus judiciary, even though the police who had investigated his case believed him to be innocent and opted not to charge him with any crime. Now Peloe is suing the university for gender discrimination. The judiciary proceedings, as outlined in his lawsuit, read like a trial from a dystopian novel: Adjudicators repeatedly refused to let Peloe present evidence that he believed would exonerate him—including "results of a rape kit examination, security camera footage, and witnesses' accounts"—and lied to him about whether they had consulted investigators. In fact, as the lawsuit claims, campus police officers avoided the trial out of fear that the university would retaliate against them for helping Peloe.

Caroline Kitchens, a senior research associate at the American Enterprise Institute who frequently writes about the travesty of campus sexual assault trials, toldReason that colleges, at the federal government's insistence, are codifying "a sexual double standard whereby all men are presumed rapists."

"In an effort to address sexual assault, college campuses are on the verge of entering into an Orwellian nightmare in which all sexual encounters are policed and students accused of misconduct are guilty until proven innocent," she said.

The colleges are trapped like rats in a box between the illiberal Obama and the Constitution. I'd like to believe the Constitution will win but it is the Obami who have the big battalions.

Liberty has been shrinking in this country for a long time but with thus latest act the left has stepped up the pace of erosion.
