Welcome to Soviet America.

[Da Coyote]

I can understand such idiocy coming from our lib arts schools of cretins, but from a tech school?

Good grief, fire the ignorant slut.

Now!

[Cowboy Bob]

Is Texas Tech a State University?

If so, why doesn't Gov. Abbott get rid of her?

[Lorianne]

I got a chill just reading that.
Yikes

[Fido969]

Well, you know the authors of the Bill of Rights were just a bunch of cranky old white men.

[Lorianne]

Amy Murphy and her ilk will be the ones deciding whether you get a blindfold or not.

[Darksheare]

‘No, no!’ said the Queen. ‘Sentence first - verdict afterwards.’

"..Amy Murphy and her ilk will be the ones deciding whether you get a blindfold or not.."

That assumes you've been "taken" first. Sorry, but that ain't happenin at all. One of the few policies of the muzzies I agree with. d;^)

[Little Pig]

In light of the “Rolling Stone” false rape, the Lena Dunham false rape, the Krystal Mangum false rape, and likely many more false accusations that didn’t garner such public attention, this is a phenomenally stupid and shortsighted position for the University to take. If I had a son, Texas Tech and every other school that permits such pernicious guilty-until-proven-innocent crap would be off the consideration list.

The ability to confront one’s accuser is SUPPOSED to have a chilling effect; that’s the whole point. That way, people can’t just go tossing out accusations without accountability.

[BenLurkin]

“Justice” can only be found in the process.

The results are not justice, The process is.

[VRWCarea51]

I am pretty sure I saw someone that looked just like Amy Murphy lurking around a grade school yesterday asking little boys if they would mind if she measured their tally wackers.

Seems to me there should be a conviction. A Investigation is a obstacle to justice here!

Texas Tech is not a “tech” school. It is a major state university with almost 40K students. Ironically it is located in one of the most conservative parts of the state.

"If cross-examination were to be allowed,” Murphy told the paper, “it would create a chilling effect for future possible reports.”

Conversely, if cross-examination is not allowed, the school is encouraging false accusations.

[Steve_Seattle]

"We already have the information,” she explained, “They (the students involved) don’t have to participate in the hearing.”

Listen to yourself, Dean Murphy. You sound like a Stalinist thug administering a kangaroo court. This woman should be fired.

[IronJack]

Fire her. Immediately. She’s a walking civil rights violation.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So when do the complaints about Amy Murphy start?

[tbw2]

To have fewer rights when accused by a college student than you do in the courts is egregious.
