Since 2011, more than 300 students have gone to court, claiming they were wrongfully disciplined by campus administrators. The colleges were implementing Obama administration guidelines regarding sexual misconduct. These guidelines discouraged colleges from subjecting the accuser to questioning by the other side. The guidelines also set the standard of proof at the lowest possible level, a mere preponderance of evidence. In short, 50% plus a feather. On that meager basis, a student could face expulsion and be tarred for life as a sexual predator.
Last year, DeVos rescinded the Obama-era guidelines and promised reforms. But so far the real action is in the courts.
On September 7 Judge Thapar of the Sixth Circuit issued a blockbuster ruling for fairness. The case involved two students at the University of Michigan who had sex in their dorm after a party. The male said it was consensual. The female claimed she was too drunk to consent, and accused him of sexual assault. The university sided with her and forced him to leave the school. But the court ruled the university erred by refusing to allow the female student to be cross-examined. Coddling the accuser by shielding her from questioning violated the accused’s due process rights. The University of Michigan is appealing, teeing the case up for a Supreme Court battle.

And this is the #MeToo fight that we are all embroiled in.
If she says it, he is guilty. Is she supposed to be questioned? NO!
This is why Ford won't show up. She demanded to be questioned by only male Senators so that she could play victim. Now she's going to be subjected to questioning by a FEMALE professional in the area. This is why I don't think she will show up to "his" trial in a court where half of the jurors have already pronounced him guilty.
