Democrats still angling to destroy due process protections for college students

Published June 16, 2020 9:18pm ET



Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has rejected the University of Wisconsin System’s Title IX changes, as the Democratic Party continues its crusade against due process protections for students accused of sexual assault on college campuses.

The UW System was looking to comply with the changes to Title IX standards made by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, which must be in place by Aug. 14. Evers earlier this month had Wisconsin join in a lawsuit against the Title IX changes, along with 17 other blue and swing states with Democratic governors, including North Carolina and Michigan. Joe Biden has openly said he would reverse DeVos’s changes if he were elected in November. The move would strip away due process from college students accused of sexual misconduct. This often destroys students’ futures while opening up universities to big financial settlements in lawsuits.
