During the last dozen years or so, one of the more common higher-education stories has been a college or university rushing to judgment against a male student or faculty member over an allegation of misconduct with a female. The Obama education department encouraged schools to “get tough” by employing procedures that were grossly unfair to the accused individuals, usually resulting in their suspension or expulsion.
Subsequently, many lawsuits were filed against colleges for having violated the rights of those who were disciplined. In most instances, the school lost, with the judges frequently denouncing the “kangaroo court” nature of the proceedings and compelling the schools to pay damages.
Such stories have been less common of late, in large measure because the Trump administration turned away from unfair Obama directives. That led law professor Richard Epstein to write in 2017 that we could bid farewell to kangaroo courts on campus.
He spoke too soon.
The Biden administration reinstated the unfair policies governing Title IX cases, and the mindset among college officials that accused male students or faculty members must be found guilty of something never went away. Former UNC professor Christopher Wretman has run afoul of this stacked-deck game run by his university’s enforcers.
Wretman was a UNC undergraduate who went on to earn two graduate degrees in social work at UNC. In 2017, he began working as a senior data analyst in UNC’s Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research and also teaching as an adjunct faculty member in the School of Social Work. He always had positive annual evaluations and published many peer-reviewed papers. He was engaged in various research projects until the events to be described led to his termination in 2022.

Wretman never should have sent that email to Meehan. No email, no problem, no story.
Defund the universities, if this is how they are acting. And clearly it is.
None of my kids were allowed to go to UNC. None of my employees went to UNC.
Are you for real?
Wow.
My father was a professor at a college in NC. Whenever a female student came to his office to speak to him, he would not allow them to close the door at any time until they were leaving.
Sickening.
