HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Ashe Schow: Two more schools introduce terrible campus sexual assault adjudication policies.

Beginning this fall, Stanford University will expel just about every student found responsible for sexual assault (with little due process, of course). A Massachusetts Institute of Technology task force has prepared a list of recommendations for overhauling that school’s policies as well.

Stanford has built on a California lawmaker’s proposal, which would create a mandatory minimum punishment of a 2-year suspension for students found responsible for sexual assault. The proposal included no due process protections. Stanford has decided to one-up that proposal by making expulsion the default punishment.

You know, if an evil genius of the right — say, a Kurt Schlichter type — were to have come up with a viral strategy to make higher education in America self-destruct, I don’t think he could have done any better than this mass hysteria.
