Sex on campus: obtaining consent in the hookup culture

As a lawyer, I have followed closely the campus sexual assault "epidemic" that has gathered much attention in recent years and find the abandonment of any concept of due process by campus tribunals appalling.  As detailed here, here, and here, universities living in mortal fear of the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights have clearly stacked the deck against the accused, resulting in severe consequences for some young men (because, let's face it, the accused are almost always men) who engaged in what appeared to them to be consensual sexual activity.

But as a father of two teenage daughters, both of whom will go to college in the next few years, "due process" would be the furthest thing from my mind if I learned that either of my children had been mistreated sexually, whether or not the events constituted a crime.  In fact, if one of my daughters were to be victimized, I might seek a form of justice quite different from the kind that the gender equity activists have in mind.
