Wendy McElroy has an excellent look at an outrageous example of administrators running roughshod over the rights of students accused of rape, How to Ruin a Man’s Life.

The Washington state Supreme Court recently upheld a $1.5 million judgment against Gonzanga University which committed one outrageous act after another to deny a teaching certificate to a student over an alleged rape. It didn’t help the university that the alleged rape victim testified that not only wasn’t she raped but that the university’s claims about her contained falsehoods and that a university official threatened her in an interview — when she refused to go along with the university’s claim that she had been raped, the alleged victim testified that one of the university interviewers asked her if she knew “where people who life go.”

Yet another unconscionable example of how little regard many universities have for things like due process (amazingly, the university conducted an investigation and decided not to award the alleged rapist a teaching certificate without once interviewing him.)
