There are two rival bills in Congress addressing campus sexual assault. A nominally bipartisan bill spearheaded by Democrats Claire McCaskill and Mark Warner focuses on heaping more requirements on schools to turn their disciplinary systems into witch-hunts. Republicans in the House of Representatives, meanwhile, have introduced a bill that tries to balance protecting women from sexual assault with protecting the rights of those who have been accused of this horrible crime.

Right now, absent the case of a star athlete who the school needs for a championship shot, if a school receives a complaint by someone alleging sexual assault it has every incentive to find the male student guilty, regardless of what actually happened.
