发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Department of Education is looking to impose new federal guidelines that
would require schools to allow the cross-examination of accusers in sexual
assault cases, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with
a draft of the rules.
The new rules would be a shift from the initial draft leaked in August,
which had given schools the option of using cross-examination in their
procedures, but did not require it, according to the Journal.
The draft of the new rules would mandate that accused students be allowed to
cross-examine their accusers, but allows for the questions to be asked by a
neutral party and for the students to be in separate rooms during the
questioning.
The guidelines would also protect accusers from being asked inappropriate
questions, such as ones relating to an accuser's sexual history.
The Department of Education did not immediately reply with official comment
to a request from The Hill.
Some cheered the reported rule changes as an important step toward ensuring
fairness in campus adjudication processes.
"Courts have recognized that cross-examination is an essential part of the
process of figuring out the truth in cases where credibility is a factor,"
the legislative and policy director for the Foundation for Individual Rights
in Education (FIRE), Joe Cohn, told The Wall Street Journal.
FIRE has long criticized the Obama-era rules, which the organization says
severely undercut due process for those accused of sexual assault on college
campuses. | f**********n

者就得按照强奸罪处罚。 一年社区劳动，太轻了。
