First and perhaps most important, the rules will not only require colleges to permit cross-examination of witnesses (including the accuser), but will also prohibit universities from relying on the statements of any witness who refuses to submit to cross-examination.

Cross-examination is so fundamental to adversary proceedings that it’s is simply incredible that some universities have been prosecuting and expelling students without permitting the accused’s representative to question his accuser. Prohibiting cross-examination irrevocably stacks the deck against the accused. The Supreme Court has rightly called cross-examination “the greatest legal engine ever invented for discovery of the truth.”

There is moe, I suggest you educate yourself on the terrible state of things prior to DeVis fixing what that Idiot Obama created.
 
I’ve never really understood why US colleges are expected/permitted to deal with criminal-level accusations in the first place. I don’t see why the standard legal procedures shouldn’t apply to allegations involving students that would to ones involving non-students.

Because women are so important that harming one of them is ten times as bad as harming a man.
 
How about to not be be summarily declared a slut without due process? And what typically is that due process?

You use the term slut like it's a bad thing. I'm against slut shaming, however, vindictive harpy shaming is just the cat's meow.
