The title and subtitle of the article Tom quoted is very incendiary. Although it's technically correct, it makes it sound like this PAC is just trying to interfere with sexual assault investigations… period. If I understand this correctly, their intent is to steer alleged victims through the established criminal justice system (which is obligated to follow due process) rather than have these charges be investigated and adjudicated by the university administration. I have mixed feelings about this, to be honest. I don't doubt that a university investigation is often unduly influenced by the desire to protect their brand and/or the desire to appease large donors (read: Greek alumni), but if my daughter were the one who was assaulted I would expect SOME sort of investigation by the university itself.
I welcome the perspective of the legal experts on this site.
