EVERYTHING OBAMA TOUCHES: AAUP Slams Education Dept. and Colleges Over Title IX Enforcement.

Both the U.S. Education Department and college administrators are fighting sexual harassment and assault on campuses in ways that trample faculty members’ rights to academic freedom, due process, and shared governance, the American Association of University Professors argues in a draft report released on Thursday.

Moreover, the report warns, colleges’ current focus on eliminating sexual harassment may be contributing to other campus inequities, and may actually be hindering broader efforts to fight sexual discrimination under the gender-equity law known as Title IX.

The report says “the singular focus on sexual harassment has overshadowed issues of unequal pay, access, and representation throughout the university system.” It raises concern that Title IX enforcement could “perpetuate race-based biases in the criminal-justice system, which disproportionately affect men who are racial minorities.”

Gee, if they’d been reading InstaPundit they’d have known this years ago. Ashe Schow has much more.
