…the students are going to sue.
About time.
[Update a few minutes later]
In which a college clears a student of rape, then retries and convicts him under an insane system.
Administrators shouldn’t have immunity from lawsuits in cases like this.

What’s the problem? College men need to be advised and instructed to not attend gatherings where alcohol is served and women are present.
There was a time when an Electrical Engineering professor served as chancellor of a major Midwestern research university. During that time, a married, male assistant professor (not in the Engineering College) was having an affair with a woman graduate student in his department. It rose to the level of a serious scandal because this was in an Historically Female Area of Scholarship (HFAS) creating a sense of betrayal among many women colleagues.
It also came to the Chancelor’s attention owing to the persons involved not being discrete about their relationship what with raising their voices at each other in the workplace over their frequent breakups followed by makeups. It all came to be something that could no longer be ignored when the student claimed to be in a family way (which turned out later out to be either a false claim or an erroneous determination).
When the Chancellor heard about this latest development, it was said that he thought about it for a minute and then asked the posse of lower-level administrators gathered in his office and charged with dealing with this embarrassment, “Was there any alcohol involved?”
This isn’t about sexual harassment, or faculty behavior. It’s about students interacting with other students.
Rand, didn’t your Momma have that talk with you about the need to be “selective” in the women you have relations with?
Men are conditioned by evolution and by social conditions that women are the “gate keepers” and that they have to try the locks at every opportunity. When a woman is eager to get intimate with a man, men can lack the necessary defenses to keep a woman, if it is in his best interest, at arms length.
The assistant professor who got in wrong at the U was not a “harasser” or a “predator”, he was just a stupid dude who doesn’t know what motivates some women. The male student who has relations with a woman who has “come on” to him at a drunken frat party is similarly unwise.
To my mind, the reason that men need to be educated about “Game” and take the right lessons from the “PUA” bloggers is that a man needs confidence in his manliness and attraction to the opposite sex, not that he can have relations with every last woman he encounters, but instead, that he can be selective about this — to not get in these situations where you complain men are being unjustly punished.
