    Now someone that’s LGBTQ+ and just trying to fit in gets singled out.

    How so, do you imagine that being LGBTQ+ makes you more likely to accuse fellow students or faculty of sexual assault? Thus singling them out because they have to recount their accusation to a closed hearing, in a way that can be subject to questioning by a representative for the person they accused, but only questions approved by the faculty member functioning as a judge analog?

    Doesn’t say requires here. So the rich kids get their “full” representation and as a result probably get away with abuse more often than not.

    Rich kid gets a lawyer, poor kid gets a faculty advisor trained in the process. Process is not a courtroom and thus much of criminal law experience doesn’t apply.

    I suppose it would have been better under the Biden/Obama guidelines where the accused doesn’t need to know what exactly they’ve been accused of or by who, what evidence will be brought against them, what the process is supposed to look like or how faculty have been trained to follow it and any lawyer they might have can explicitly be kept out of the process?
