This "bias" crap cuts both ways and I do expect that the system will collapse under the weight of its own absurdity.

It will collapse. Just wait till the "accused" say to heck with the college judicial system, I'm getting my own lawyer!

That what I did when I was a young college freshman. I got a letter one day from the college saying that I had physically assaulted another (female) student. It was all a bunch of crap, I had never even met the other student, and still haven't to this day 17 years later. The college wanted me to go to a "hearing" at the Judicial Board (J Board), which is essentially a kangaroo court made up of other students.

Well, to hell with that! My dad went to high school with one of the attorneys in town. We retained his services. A few weeks later, the college sent me a letter saying the case was dropped.

When I was in college I formed the Viking Student Union. Although it was open to anyone who would subscribe to its creed (Greed is Good; To the Longboats) it was intended as a gentle satire of the Black Student Union, and a couple of members of that fine organization did take offense.

In those days we settled things the old fashioned way. They came to my room and engaged in a very short dialogue with my roommate, the VSU's Sergeant at Arms, a decidedly unnordic young man from the barrio in East LA.

Then they went away.

No college sponsored star chamber. No anonymous snitching. No self-important "bias team." No suppression of free speech. Just a little dialogue and a much better education in the way the world outside of the insanity that academia has become really works.
