You know how Congress got a case of the blues over military sexual assaults and decided that they needed to take the authority away from commanders to prosecute those cases? Well, the Washington Post<\/a> reports that 55 colleges are now being investigated for their own handling of sexual assaults on their campus. <\/p>\n

The list from the Education Department continues the Obama administration\u2019s push to shine a spotlight on sex assault in response to questions raised in recent years about how prominent colleges have handled rape allegations and related issues. This week, a White House task force released a report aiming to help colleges prevent sex assaults.<\/p>\n

Three Ivy League universities landed on the list: Harvard University (its college and its law school), Princeton University and Dartmouth College. So did other prestigious private schools, such as Emory University, the University of Southern California and Amherst and Swarthmore colleges. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the Feds should be recommending that authority to prosecute and investigate these sexual assaults should be taken from college administrations given their reaction to military cases, right? Well, not quite;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope this increased transparency will spur community dialogue about this important issue,\u201d said Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights. \u201cI also want to make it clear that a college or university\u2019s appearance on this list and being the subject of a Title IX investigation in no way indicates at this stage that the college or university is violating or has violated the law.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t remember anyone recommending that the Pentagon “spur dialogue” about military sexual assaults. Nope they went right for the commanders’ authority. Because they can – the same reason a dog licks his balls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
