I could be asked to be a member of a hearing board for Title IX investigations, I have not specifically heard one yet.

Nothing against you personally, but wow. One of my chief complaints is that college administrators have no qualifications or experience investigating sexual assaults and some universities are allowing undergrads to do it? Do you have experience in law enforcement?

I do not investigate anything. I sit on a hearing board where any evidence may be presented to me.

That students are making judicial determinations here is just scary stuff. I know you are qualified to serve on a jury in a real court, but the same rules of evidence keeping certain facts from the jury to render their decision more fair do not apply in these circumstances.

The jury system as it stands has developed over hundreds of years. We cannot expect to just port something over which sorta kinda looks like that and expect it to work just fine.

Again, this isn't a personal attack on you at all.

--and that said, most trial lawyers avoid jury terms in June like the plague because they don't want a bunch of college kids who got deferred jury service to fill up their jury pool..fwiw

Typically, the investigation is done by campus police if they are a sworn law enforcement official or a trained investigator that is a staff member in the Title IX office, student affairs office or other. Then some hearing boards are comprised of students, faculty and staff. Others do not have students as participants. Appeals then head up to the VP student affairs or the President.

Some of the issue at hanf is that there is no standard practice.
