wtf is approximately 2 employees?

depends on if you count the office dog.

I think I speak for everyone on RM when I say "Great news!"

The coverage on this was great. On NPR, some apologist for the "Dear Colleague" letter was trying to make a case for offenses less serious than crimes being dealt with at the school level, and that apologetic sexual offenders might be subject to some minor re-education courses.

Has that happened at all under this guidance? Is any sanction other than kicking a 'guilty' offender off campus appropriate, based on the guidelines?

Its almost as if they want to impose employment style "sexual harassment" law on sexual partners, and demanding enthusiastic consent. Its totally unworkable.

I get what you're saying about due process, but enthusiastic consent seems like a reasonable requirement for sex.

We've seen these kind of headlines before but this is a big one. Just go ahead and freeze you credit.

Freezes are some of the best action you can take in the age of your info always being leaked. You may find value in blocking electronic access to your SSN: https://secure.ssa.gov/acu/IPS_INTR/blockaccess

A woman who threw her poo out of her date's toilet window because it "would not flush" had to be rescued after she got stuck trying to retrieve it.

My browser doesn't recognize the SSA website as secure. Go figure. I would also like to understand how the unblocking process works because I don't much enjoy the idea of interacting with the Federal equivalent of the DMV.

It gets worse:

Unbelievable.

Not me.

From the letter itself:

https://www2.ed.gov/print/about/offices ... 01104.html

I tried to google words like "suspend", "expel", or "expulsion" and came up empty. It's pretty nondescript on what disciplinary action should be taken against the offender. And I think that's fine: there should be room for mitigating factors as appropriate, but I also wouldn't take expulsion off the table altogether.

Most of the complaints stem from the insistence on using the preponderance of the evidence standard in these cases. But I don't see why that's unreasonable. This doesn't deal with throwing the offenders in jail, or even seeking civil remedies. At worst, it's kicking offenders off a campus in which they've been deemed to make life a living hell for at least one person among the campus population. That shouldn't mean that the offender can't pursue higher education at a different school, but does mean that their presence at the school where this happened has become so toxic that their continued presence is harming the student population as a whole.
