THE PRINCETON GULAG

Thank goodness for the Wall Street Journal, and for the handful of news organizations that actually cover the news fairly  today.  In ten days, the “Council of the Princeton University Community” will likely approve a faculty disciplinary policy denying due process to those accused of on-campus sexual shenanigans.  Essentially, allegations of sexual offenses will no longer require “clear and persuasive evidence” to be proven.  I can only guess the future impact of such a “conviction” on the falsely accused.  Defendants would have no right to confront their accuser, and would be permitted legal counsel that could confer with the accused but  not to speak or advocate at the proceedings.

No civilized human being tolerates sexual bullying, sexual innuendos, or any form of sexual abuse.   Gentlemen know where to draw a line.  But in our overly politically correct society, we tend to go overboard to correct an issue.  Such is the case here.   Princeton University is shirking its responsibility to protect all its students while away from their homes.

Odd that a Proglibocrat institution such as Princeton, so intent in its curriculum in promoting equal rights and equal opportunity and equal incomes and equal almost everything, would obviate its obligation to protect everyone’s rights.   Just confirms to me that I wouldn’t send a child to any Ivy League school except Penn, which at least with its highly regarded business school, turns out some graduates with usable skills.         WHAT THE HECK !
