High-profile cases
have recently put campus sexual assault in the spotlight. One question
that has repeatedly come up: why are these cases being handled by
campuses at all? Title IX requires that every school receiving federal
aid must take concrete steps to deal with hostile environments and
sexual assault. This leaves colleges and universities with the task of
figuring out what policies and procedures to enforce. Proponents say
that campus investigations serve a real need, forcing schools to respond
to violence and protecting the interests of victims in ways that the
criminal justice system may fail. Can schools provide due process for
defendants and adequate justice for victims, or do these cases belong in
the courts?Source.
