Alan Dershowitz: Campus sexual assault rules 'preclude a defense' for the accused

Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor and self-identified liberal, has denounced the recent focus on campus sexual assault policies as ignoring the rights of the accused for political reasons.

Dershowitz, who in October joined 27 other current and former Harvard Law professors in criticizing the school’s new Obama-administration-compliant sexual assault policy, recently told the Boston Globe that while he can accept “affirmative consent” laws in principle, due process is being denied.
