Incredible.

Thank you for putting this up, Tim.

His coaching melts steel beams.

And got kicked off of his college swim team, too! Not for being an asshole, something about him trying to be a sports agent while still competing in college, I think. Great ethics there, y’all.

My sister swam with Katinka in college. She liked Katinka, said she had incredible talent, but that she would dog it in the weight room in college; the difference now is that Katinka is actually putting in the work. So, unless her husband is in the weight room doing the reps for her, I don’t think he gets the credit,…

You know, when I present on Title IX, I remind folks that Title IX is addressing ten areas where women were experiencing systemic sexual discrimination in education: admissions, athletics, science and mathematics... I feel like we’re forgetting the sexual discrimination forest for the (clear and horrible legacy of…

I think one of the challenges here is that we struggle with what Title IX can actually do as an equity law. If the argument is that women are harmed by all-gender study spaces like campus libraries or dorm lounges due to sexual harassment (e.g., if they are being hit on constantly by men), then you can demonstrate…

You beat me to it. When I was being harassed—not sexually, just straight up being treated shitty for being fat—at my first job out of college, I quit. I even changed careers. Because I had parents who could support me financially as well as emotionally as I got myself back together and found a new way forward. Because…

That’s so fetch.

St. Joe is my home: my late grandfather was mayor for twenty years in the 70s and 80s, my dad practiced law in an office five blocks away and went to the courthouse weekly (before he realized the law is stupid and became an accountant). It’s a sleepy little beach town for Chicagoans and the home of Whirlpool; you can…

None of us process rape kits; we just get the reports, and anyone can learn to interpret them by doing what I do, which is turn to a campus doctor and say, “Tell me what this means, and write a statement attesting to that.” I also asked our local SANE nurse to spend an hour waking me through the process of taking a…

No, that’s for sure: the small schools who aren’t well funded are in a really hard spot, and worst of all, that leaves them prey to consultants who promise to fix everything while taking their money for little gain. It’s really shitty.

Oh no, sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you weren’t doing due diligence but more a frustration that my colleagues never seem to be represented in articles and I don’t understand why: I assume that folks reach out to the usual suspects—the TIXC from the biggies like Stanford and UConn and Swarthmore ...why don’t we…

So agreed! I only wish I could end this by offering to buy you a drink and get super nerdy over federal regulations.

Y’all, if I could be a consultant, I would be thrilled. Less stress, hopefully more beach time. And best of all, less kids and less parents—on both sides—who rip out my damn heart.

As a fellow attorney, your lack of confidence is disturbing to me. Especially since our brethren march into my office and tell me that they know without a shadow of a doubt what happened. Which is problematic: I cannot, cannot tell you “what happened”: I can only tell you what the information indicates after my…

I do searches. I get police reports (our campus police have jurisdiction on-campus and most of off-campus). I’ve gone to the scenes of incidents to take photos and figure out if the bed really was as close to the window as the accusing student said or whatever. But I want to emphasize that 99% of cases—actually, in…

1) I receive rape kits from the police, yes; often, I get it from the complainant before the police give it to me—our police give me statements, summaries of their investigation, basically everything that is public record or that they are allowed to share. We have a good relationship; we’re a team. But in four years,…

I respect your position, and I think as an outsider, I’d have the exact same questions. Part of it is that OCR got spanked hard in 2010 by the Center for Public Integrity for being too soft on schools, so now they come so hard that absolutely no one passes muster. It’s why I do completely believe my school would have…

Esteban says nothing of the sort; where in that decision does it limit what schools can and cannot adjudicate? I just reread the entire decisions—the district (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…) and the 8th Circuit decisions (http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/…)—and see absolutely no references to felonies,…
