Professors as judges

摘要

The uproar about sexual assaults on American college campuses is growing louder. Barack Obama has called them "an affront to our basic humanity". Several universities-including Johns Hopkins, San Diego State, Emory, mit, Clemson and the University of Virginia-have shut down or suspended parties at their fraternities in recent months. This week Wesley-an University in Connecticut banned a fraternity from holding social events for a year following two allegations of assaults at booze-fuelled revels. Meanwhile, 90 schools in 35 states are under investigation by the federal Department of Education for mishandling cases of sexual violence.
