Hi. We’ve interacted a couple of times, but I just comment stalked you and wanted you to know that I officially think we should be best friends. Toodles!

There’s actually another I forgot as well, which is isolation of dangerous populations.

I have a two-stage alarm routine.

First of all, in the case of public universities, the university is state actor. They are not separate entities. In many cases private universities are also held to be state actors, though that situation is more murky.

It’s also a major crime. I’m all for having it explicitly as part of the code of conduct, but major crimes should not be tried without due process in a court of law. The university should punish as it sees fit once the facts are settled, but the university should not be the entity that settles the facts.

There’s no way to reconcile this without either infringing on due process or knowingly putting students at risk of extreme harm, and until now it would appear we opt for the latter.

I don’t see why it’s all or nothing. I agree schools can and should punish students for violations of their rules, but the method by which they determine whether the violation actually occurred can and should scale with the nature of the violation and the punishment proposed, just like it does in the legal world. It’s…

A university must determine whether a code of conduct breach has actually taken place in order to punish the perpetrator. If the part of the code of conduct in question is “don’t commit a major crime” then the university is by definition investigating whether a major crime occurred, something which they are not…

I understand where you’re coming from, but unfortunately I don’t believe that what you’re describing can be implemented without further issues.

The problem is that criminal investigations can take years and the criminal justice system is deeply flawed in many ways. But I understand your point. I’m in favor of colleges taking steps to isolate an accused violent offender from their victims while crimes are being investigated, perhaps by required that they take…

I am 100% with you. This sort of education needs to be part of kids’ lives from a very young age. I think people don’t want to because they think you’ll have to tell kids about sex, which just isn’t true.

Federal courts have adjudicated several cases where students accused of crimes sued their schools for essentially conducting a criminal investigation without the standards of due process. The courts’ rationale for continuing to allow it is that a person is not entitled by law to a college education, and being expelled…

I did know that. I don't know how that's a reason to talk shit about the people getting the sympathy, rather than the people giving it selectively.

You’re pointing out hypocrisy, and that’s good. What’s the next step? Would you prefer the black and brown kids be treated like the white ones, or that the white ones be treated like the black and brown ones?

I barely knew about Caitlyn pre-Kardashian, other than that she had multiple ex-wives. So I assumed seeing the headline and photo that this was one of them making a play. Which is a long way to say... Holy shit she looks good!

I was at an interview workshop for my company, and they spent at least 15 minutes discussing illegal questions, including questions like “when did you graduate high school?” and other ways that we might ask an illegal question by accident.

I’m sorry that I am mischaracterizing your views. You said

The only method we have of preventing rapists from raping again is denying them access to any possible victims (by locking them up securely or killing them).

You’re right, I’m sorry for generalizing. I ask again. You believe sex offenders are impossible to rehabilitate? Does that mean that they are neurologically deficient? The legal category of “Sex Offenders” is very broad, encompassing everyone from serial pedophiles to public urinators. Does the research you’re…

many people think the high recidivism rate of criminals is due to our flawed prison system, lack of support for recently released convicts, and the near-total inability to find a job with a criminal record, leaving crime the only option.
