In 'The Wall Street Journal': 'A Mother, a Feminist, Aghast'
In today’s Wall Street Journal, mother and attorney Judith Grossman writes about the appalling lack of due process afforded her son when he was charged by a campus tribunal with sexual misconduct that allegedly happened years in the past. Grossman writes: “What followed was a nightmare—a fall through Alice's looking-glass into a world that I could not possibly have believed existed, least of all behind the ivy-covered walls thought to protect an ostensible dedication to enlightenment and intellectual betterment.” Grossman’s op-ed is a must read for anyone concerned about fundamental rights on campus.
