<p>It isn’t just men who like sex and want to engage in it, okay ready; brace yourselves I am pretty darn sure women like it too, even college women.
This pretty much described the situation among many of my female college friends, way back when. Worse, because they couldn’t acknowledge their interest, most were not on birth control. (Talk about words of wisdom to a young man!) Several wound up “in trouble.” I thought it was stooopid. This was a school for smart kids. When they whined, we didn’t console them and send them to health services- we told them they were dumb for not considering the situation, knowing when to back off, not being on bc, etc. We were not mean, but firm. </p>
<p>-this was different. There was no definition of “date rape.” Now there are laws that, one way or another, allow a woman to complain about “non-consensual” sex. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Don’t fret that people call your son a beastie and this and that. Focus on the specifics: the act, regardless of how you get to it, involves one doing to the other. (Don’t know what words I can use on CC.) The doer can be held accountable. </p>
<p>But, again, TITLE IX only tells the colleges they have to respond, not what to do.</p>
<p>Title IX only says what it says and I sure hope, by now, all read it. It is VERY SPECIFICALLY NOT a blank check. But, posters here are treating it as such.</p>

<li>They are repeating that boys will be expelled under false allegations, that names will be broadcast, etc.
Fab even wrote: that maybe a girl doesn’t have equal access to school opps because of “trauma,” even the comment that *The university…is not excluding her “from participation in, …any education program or activity” offered…She may be excluding herself.… <a href=“This%20may%20be%20taken%20out%20of%20your%20intended%20context,%20but%20they%20are%20your%20words%20and%20adjoining.”>/i</a></li>

<p>***No one is saying a girl must always be believed. **Just that the U must respond and then adequately investigate.
There is nothing that says preponderance means lighthearted or frivolous or “let’s close this fast and go to lunch.” The U must respond in defined ways. They are allowed to deal with it per their Code of Conduct. “She said/he said” is NOT preponderance. Something else, something more is required. College admins are not all the self-serving isolated, misandrist dummies you portray them to be.</p>
<p>Surprised that few here have wrtten that they actually read a C of C, except, is it Mini? There’s a link to ND Ohio’s, which was written under OCR’s scrutiny, based on their problems. It’s pretty clear.</p>
