Perhaps she’s missing the fact that she and the other faculty had already stepped into the role of judge, and by readmitting the students, the school is stepping out of the judge’s role.

Good news all around. But the real news here is how enthusiastically the news media played along with Nifong in his witch hunt.
Both Karla and Nifong wanted to lynch the la crosse players without a trial. Both of them would have been at home in positions of power in Stalin’s USSR or Hitler’s Reich.
Every big city DA’s office and every large university has scores of functionaries like Nifong and Holloway, just drooling for the chance for a big politically correct score. The media stands ready to cheer them on—case or no case. |

According to Durham-in-Wonderland there are three ways that that case might play out from here:
1) The Special Prosecutions unit of the Attorney General’s office could refuse to take the case. In this situation, another office would have to be found to undertake the prosecution, which the blogger considers unlikely.
2) The AG could accept the case, and move forward with the prosecution. The blogger considers this to be a significant possibility:[T]he attorney general of North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper, pondered a run for governor in 2008 and might still run in 2012. Presumably, he will be under some political pressure from a vital constituency to move forward, despite the transparent miscarriage of justice. To win in North Carolina, Democrats need an overwhelming black vote. And there’s been no indication that the eagerness for a trial among the state’s African-American leadership has diminished. Indeed, NAACP “case monitor” Irving Joyner was quoted in yesterday’s Times rationalizing the continued prosecution of Reade Seligmann... 3) The AG could accept the case and drop the charges. The blogger considers this the most likely outcome, but it will not happen until the AG performs all of the due diligence that Nifong should have done (or cleverly didn’t do, according to Q and O resident lawyer MK Ultra).

due process, McQ
And how does expelling students before all the evidence is in conform with due process, Rick? It looks to me like the university righted a wrong here. Readmitting the students does not subvert due process/

More than anything else, what I don’t understand is how feminists who not only rush to judgment but also refuse to admit the mistake later, don’t see how seriously that hurts the cause they claim.
This kind of thing just makes it harder to prosecute rapes that actually occur. |

Tito, the problem is that the feminists don’t want equal treatment - they want political power. They’re willing to compromise a lot to get it, including consistency and justice.
So we saw nominal "feminists" who refused to say anything negative about a fifty year old chief executive getting sexual favors from a 21-year-old intern. If a business executive did that, they would milk it for all it was worth to pass more restrictions on those wicked male capitalists. But since it was a political ally, we got nonsense such as the one-free-grope principle, as hypocritical explanations.
Now we see feminists who are not the least bit interested in justice. They simply want to see unabashed, sometimes loutish, males punished and put in their place. If any woman can bring charges of rape under any circumstances, no matter how preposterous her story or how weak the physical evidence, and still have those charges taken seriously, then those males have a powerful incentive to toe the feminist line so as to not even give the appearance of behavior the feminists might classify as sexual aggression. That implies that the feminists get to set the standards for male behavior, while of course also setting standards for their own. |
