What Process is Due Campus Sexual Assault Accused?

A California appellate court, again, has overturned university discipline rendered after a sexual assault claim, and the Department of Education will likely soon rebalance procedural safeguards in favor of accused students. Professor Lara Bazelon (USF School of Law) and Kelly Woodruff (California Appellate Law Group) offer differing views on what level of due process should attend campus sexual assault adjudications.
