Criminal juries receive zero training, and they are deciding whether or not to lock someone up for years. We provide extensive training to our hearing committees, and the worse thing they can possibly do is expel someone from a University. You're enforcing a double standard.DoctorGentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220156362640785220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-49401543592007674582014-06-03T09:55:21.490-07:002014-06-03T09:55:21.490-07:00I second your last comment, Gentry.

The students who hear cases involving sexual misconduct on my campus are trained for three hours per week for an entire semester before they are able to hear ANY type of case. Our sexual misconduct and intimate partner violence topics cover at least 8 of those hours--substantially more training than any jury. Faculty/staff also completed the same 8-hour training to serve on those cases.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253453327654902055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-26314746341907352052014-06-03T09:53:25.998-07:002014-06-03T09:53:25.998-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253453327654902055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-72714690038271078082014-06-03T09:53:11.778-07:002014-06-03T09:53:11.778-07:00(Heavy sarcasm headed your way. Better duck!) Well...(Heavy sarcasm headed your way. Better duck!) Well you've convinced me!! With the assurance from your single example for the limited tenure of your employment at just ONE institution, I am now 100% certain that EVERY university's investigative personnel are EQUALLY superior to trained, supervised & legally accountable local law enforcement. Further I am certain from just your singular example that ALL universities maintain universally consistent procedures that are more fair to both victim & defendant to any municipal justice system. So, with my newly found certainty I fully support a Federal mandate designed to circumvent the sovereignty of State's rights of local law enforcement in the hopes that we can have even a modest impact on sexual assault on college campuses.David Stollmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320442498305085046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-65017220684626837152014-06-03T08:32:31.573-07:002014-06-03T08:32:31.573-07:00I can assure you that the students and faculty who...I can assure you that the students and faculty who serve on conduct committees on my campus receive more training than juries in criminal trials, who receive absolutely no training.DoctorGentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220156362640785220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-77714171170592932372014-06-03T08:20:24.824-07:002014-06-03T08:20:24.824-07:00Gentry - How about the Temple University player ki...Gentry - How about the Temple University player kicked off his D-1 team and lost his scholarship due to the immediate reaction to FALSE rape charges against him.

There is a spectrum there - hence the phrase sexual misconduct. Rape is a specific incident within the sexual assault spectrum. Police departments won't investigate consent issues that don't involve force. They won't. Non-forcible sexual contact without consent isn't really on the books in a lot of municipalities. Police may give someone disorderly conduct, which in Pennsylvania is a summary citation that carries a fine lower than underage drinking. That tells you how seriously the local (or even campus) police will consider something at the other end of the spectrum.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903911833699383544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-23102610253265636652014-06-03T06:00:55.815-07:002014-06-03T06:00:55.815-07:00Hours later I realized how amateur that question s...Hours later I realized how amateur that question sounds. I'm really struggling to get my students to think of their f/s membership at a higher level. It's a struggle to talk recruitment strategy let alone values. We don't have houses or traditional chapter suites so I'm trying to create opportunities to get general members in front of me for reasons other than student conduct.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903911833699383544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-26121154858769912692014-06-03T04:55:56.521-07:002014-06-03T04:55:56.521-07:00Dave - thanks for the reply. Always love it when i...Dave - thanks for the reply. Always love it when issues like this can be openly discussed.<br /><br />Three points:<br /><br />1. I hate the phrase "poking the bear." In my mind that means just saying things to get people riled up, which is not my intent. I try my best to never offer critical feedback without offering suggestions for improvement. My intent in this post is not to "poke the bear" or "stir the pot" but to advance meaningful dialogue about how the fraternal movement can be advanced. I'm very pro-fraternity - I just happen to think that we expect more from our students than we are expecting from ourselves, which is the point of this post.<br /><br />2. I actually think I take it pretty easy on the NPC. I first found out about NPC's involvement in lobbying the OCR against the Title IX reforms almost a year ago. I haven't sad a thing about it publicly, because frankly, I didn't think I was the best person to raise a stink about it (see also, reputation for bear poking). Most people would be surprised to learn the extent to which I research things I say in these blog posts. Before I posted this, I SCOURED the NPC website looking for any news, statements, releases, ANYTHING related to sexual assault/Title IX. I found nothing. Not. A. Single. Thing. This is arguably the most important issue facing collegiate sorority members today, and the NPC, nor from what I can tell any of its affiliate members, have uttered a single word about it. Nothing. Other than to lobby against some of the reforms that eventually passed in VAWA. Here's a little secret - undergraduate women are taking cues from their national leaders on this issue. The silence of the NPC and its member organizations on this issue speaks volumes. How can/should we expect undergraduate sorority members to lead on this issue on their respective campuses when the leaders of their national organizations refuse to even discuss the matter? I'm really shocked that I'm the first person to publicly ask these questions. It is time for the NPC and its member organizations to stop talking about leadership and modeling the way and to ACTUALLY LEAD AND MODEL THE WAY for their undergraduate members.<br /><br />3. You and I have discussed the issue of the adjudication of sexual assault on campus before, and I know that we agree to disagree. Let me conduct one thought experiment with you. Read this story (a bit lengthy, but great investigative reporting) from the New York times regarding the Jameis Winston case:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/16/sports/errors-in-inquiry-on-rape-allegations-against-fsu-jameis-winston.html?_r=0<br /><br />Now, imagine, for a minute, that the accused in this case was not a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback on a national championship football team, but just your Joe-Average frat guy. Now, imagine that Florida State received a report in a similar manner to that outlined in this story. Should that school, or any school, have to sit on its hands and do NOTHING just because local police botched an investigation, even though they knew they had a violent rapist running around campus? Campuses hold students responsible for a number of things that are also criminal behaviors (drugs, alcohol, assault, etc. etc. etc.). Are you advocating that campuses should not be able to address any violations that also constitute criminal activity, or just rape? I think campuses are obligated to have a safe community, regardless of what criminal processes do (or don't do - getting a conviction in a non-stranger sexual assault case is nearly impossible, another reason that a campus process offers better protections to victims than the criminal process, but that is a different discussion). <br /><br />Again - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like discussing things, and wish more people would offer critical thoughts and feedback openly instead of through back channels and whisper campaigns. I think discussing things like this is helpful and will get us all to a better place.DoctorGentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220156362640785220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384046705046471570.post-24317169939960477312014-06-02T20:45:29.025-07:002014-06-02T20:45:29.025-07:00Gentry - I love your willingness to poke the bear!...Gentry - I love your willingness to poke the bear! But, I think you go to far in admonishing the NPC. I challenge your point that "preponderance of evidence" is the right way to go. And, your blanket assumption that it must be right points a finger of blame at anyone that disagrees, let alone has the audacity to say so. Standing against a non-legislated bureaucratic mandate that in practices violates our basic understanding of a fair judicial process doesn't not mean one stands FOR rape. Nor is there any evidence that these new interpretations of the law will actually make ANYONE safer.
