Due process is under attack on college campuses across the country. University administrators, under intense pressure from the Obama administration and activists, include some semblance of due process when a student is accused of a serious crime, but it typically isn’t effective.

Washington State University is a prime example of a school providing some due process, but lacking effective due process. It uses the “preponderance of evidence” standard, which allows certain hearsay evidence and doesn’t allow cross-examination (but students can write down questions to be asked of witnesses and the conduct board chair will decide whether to ask them).
