"content": "\u003cp>In confirmation hearings taking place simultaneously on opposite coasts of the country, nominees for the top law enforcement posts in the nation and California laid out strikingly different positions on immigration policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, took questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington. The senators spent hours asking their colleague about his thoughts on issues including torture, criminal sentencing and Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. In a number of exchanges, Sessions made clear his position on immigration policy, specifically his opposition to President Obama's executive orders protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that if you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America,\" Sessions said. \"I believe the American people spoke clearly in this election. I believe they agree with my basic view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after Sessions sat down to begin his marathon confirmation hearing, the man tasked with potentially defending more than a quarter of the nation's undocumented immigrants from federal action began his questioning from the California Assembly Committee on the Office of Attorney General. In a cramped room with far fewer cameras than the proceedings in D.C., Rep. Xavier Becerra, Gov. Jerry Brown's nominee for California's top cop, laid out his vision for the office during a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/AssemblyDems/status/818871018563321856\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The headwinds from outside of California could threaten the basic rights of so many families, like the one I grew up in,\" said Becerra, the son of two immigrants who represents Los Angeles in the House of Representatives. \"California must continue to be a forward-leaning state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Sessions, Becerra had the advantage of being skewered on a familiar grill; the Democrat served a single term in the state Assembly before heading to Congress. But while Becerra's \"grilling\" was friendlier and neatly wrapped up before \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/10/governor-jerry-brown-says-state-should-plan-for-rainy-budget-days/\">Gov. Brown's budget presentation\u003c/a>, Sessions' nomination hearing dragged into the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alabama senator has made his name in the Senate with his staunchly conservative stance on immigration, consistently opposing legislation that offered a path toward legal status for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants. The issue also helped forge his alliance with Donald Trump, who he endorsed during the primary campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As attorney general in Trump's administration, Sessions would have oversight of federal immigration courts and the hiring of immigration judges. He could also wield the threat of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/29/donald-trump-wants-to-cut-funding-from-sanctuary-cities-but-can-he/\">cutting off federal dollars\u003c/a> to the hundreds of cities with sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11263798\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11263798\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/Becerra-800x490.jpg\" alt=\"Rep.

Jeff Sessions (R-AL), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, took questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington. The senators spent hours asking their colleague about his thoughts on issues including torture, criminal sentencing and Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. In a number of exchanges, Sessions made clear his position on immigration policy, specifically his opposition to President Obama's executive orders protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that if you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America,\" Sessions said. \"I believe the American people spoke clearly in this election. I believe they agree with my basic view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after Sessions sat down to begin his marathon confirmation hearing, the man tasked with potentially defending more than a quarter of the nation's undocumented immigrants from federal action began his questioning from the California Assembly Committee on the Office of Attorney General. In a cramped room with far fewer cameras than the proceedings in D.C., Rep. Xavier Becerra, Gov. Jerry Brown's nominee for California's top cop, laid out his vision for the office during a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He’s a partner at Covington & Burling, a firm that markets its “Mini State Department” to clients as a way to “navigate their most complex global business problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am honored that the Legislature chose Covington to serve as its legal adviser as it considers how to respond to potential changes in federal law that could impact California's residents and policy priorities,\" Holder said in a statement released by de León and Rendon. \"I am confident that our expertise across a wide array of federal legal and regulatory issues will be a great resource to the Legislature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Holder's retention raises a tricky question. Why do legislative leaders feel they need legal help outside of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/01/gov-brown-names-rep-xavier-becerra-next-attorney-general/\">presumptive state Attorney General Xavier Becerra\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the more legal firepower we have, the better,\" de León says. “We’re going to work closely with Xavier Becerra when and if he gets confirmed. We’re going to work closely with Gov. Jerry Brown. But the more legal power, the better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León says a motivation to retain Holder is that he will “protect California’s progressive values,” including new minimum wage laws, climate change policies and equal pay for female workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, while Holder is a friend to Obama and celebrated by Democratic leaders in Sacramento, he has long been criticized by progressives for a host of policies and decisions -- including \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2016/07/12/eric-holders-longtime-excuse-for-not-prosecuting-banks-just-crashed-and-burned/\" target=\"_blank\">failing to prosecute bankers\u003c/a> at the center of the Great Recession. While California's leaders have expressed fears about potential actions the Trump administration may take against undocumented immigrants, Holder served an administration that \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/21/donald-trump/trump-right-deportation-numbers-wrong-talks-about-/\">deported a record number\u003c/a> of people in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re at the helm of an institution like the Department of Justice, there’s always going to be controversial decisions, things that didn’t sit well with me,” de León says. “But there’s a lot on the table, including the potential splitting up of mothers from their children with deportations. No one’s perfect, but we’re going to move forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Report's Guy Marzorati contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He’s a partner at Covington & Burling, a firm that markets its “Mini State Department” to clients as a way to “navigate their most complex global business problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am honored that the Legislature chose Covington to serve as its legal adviser as it considers how to respond to potential changes in federal law that could impact California's residents and policy priorities,\" Holder said in a statement released by de León and Rendon. \"I am confident that our expertise across a wide array of federal legal and regulatory issues will be a great resource to the Legislature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Holder's retention raises a tricky question.

But the more legal power, the better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León says a motivation to retain Holder is that he will “protect California’s progressive values,” including new minimum wage laws, climate change policies and equal pay for female workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, while Holder is a friend to Obama and celebrated by Democratic leaders in Sacramento, he has long been criticized by progressives for a host of policies and decisions -- including \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2016/07/12/eric-holders-longtime-excuse-for-not-prosecuting-banks-just-crashed-and-burned/\" target=\"_blank\">failing to prosecute bankers\u003c/a> at the center of the Great Recession. While California's leaders have expressed fears about potential actions the Trump administration may take against undocumented immigrants, Holder served an administration that \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/21/donald-trump/trump-right-deportation-numbers-wrong-talks-about-/\">deported a record number\u003c/a> of people in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re at the helm of an institution like the Department of Justice, there’s always going to be controversial decisions, things that didn’t sit well with me,” de León says. “But there’s a lot on the table, including the potential splitting up of mothers from their children with deportations.

I am a leader that is cloaked in being a woman.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick had been a candidate for Chicago's top police post, superintendent, and joined the department at her lower rank last June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/sites/default/files/article/file-attachments/KirkpatrickEssays.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a questionnaire\u003c/a> she completed for the Chicago superintendent's job, she was asked \"what does accountability mean in the context of policing?\" Her answer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Accountability means holding officers individually, as well as the agency collectively, responsible for the delivery of police services in an ethical and legal manner. As a former Chief of Police, my mantra was that we are in the business of regulating other people's conduct, so I expect us (the police) to regulate our own conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accountability entails making expectations clear, leading the way, and encouraging others to follow willingly. Accountability also involves discipline in terms of running a \"right and tight ship\" and in terms of sanctions to gain corrective action. At times, corrective action includes terminations in order to maintain a highly effective and well-run organization.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Oakland police force has operated for more than a decade under the terms of a federal court-negotiated settlement agreement that grew out of a civil rights lawsuit accusing the department of racially biased policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has to come to grips with the issues in the [negotiated settlement agreement], and try to lead the department into compliance,\" Burris said, \"recognizing that there is certainly some resistance within it, so the challenges are there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick said \"there will be no retreat\" in achieving full compliance with the federal court order. She said she had spoken with the court's independent monitor, Robert Warshaw, and those conversations will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Chicago questionnaire, Kirkpatrick described biased policing as \"a cancer\" that could be addressed only by articulating a zero-tolerance policy and the determination to back up words with action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unless there is strong leadership that will not turn a blind eye and will actually start cutting that cancer out of the department, then it will never go away,\" Kirkpatrick wrote. \"In that case, the policy is just cheap talk. When officers see that they can and will lose a career over it, then the culture will start to change. And when officers also see that promotional opportunities are based on upholding the values of a zero tolerance stand against biased-based policing, then you get a culture change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick's brief tenure in Chicago coincided with a catastrophic increase in gun violence in the city. By the Chicago Tribune's count, the toll in 2016 included \u003ca href=\"http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/homicides\" target=\"_blank\">779 homicides\u003c/a> and more than \u003ca href=\"http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings/\" target=\"_blank\">4,300 shootings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland, too, has experienced a persistent problem with gun violence and homicides. The death toll has eased since the recent peak, 131, reached in 2012. Still, Oakland police recorded \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak062193.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">87 killings\u003c/a> in 2016, and the number recorded in the final three months of the year -- about 35 -- actually exceeded the rate seen in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Chicago questionnaire, Kirkpatrick said she'd focus on strategies she said have demonstrated success -- such as statistically based policing and the \"broken windows\" approach to focusing on \"quality of life\" offenses that is credited with reducing crime in New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In addition,\" she wrote, \"I would also apply other crime strategies that we know work such as targeting career criminals and getting guns off the streets. There are some very innovative approaches to crime fighting that include partnering with social services to get low-level drug offenders and prostitutes into social services versus jail. I also think that law enforcement should approach crime fighting by helping to reintegrate ex-offenders back into our communities. Lastly, I would seek ways to give disenfranchised youth opportunities to 'belong' in healthy relationships as alternatives to gang life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alex Emslie of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

I am a leader that is cloaked in being a woman.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick had been a candidate for Chicago's top police post, superintendent, and joined the department at her lower rank last June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/sites/default/files/article/file-attachments/KirkpatrickEssays.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a questionnaire\u003c/a> she completed for the Chicago superintendent's job, she was asked \"what does accountability mean in the context of policing?\" Her answer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Accountability means holding officers individually, as well as the agency collectively, responsible for the delivery of police services in an ethical and legal manner. As a former Chief of Police, my mantra was that we are in the business of regulating other people's conduct, so I expect us (the police) to regulate our own conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accountability entails making expectations clear, leading the way, and encouraging others to follow willingly. Accountability also involves discipline in terms of running a \"right and tight ship\" and in terms of sanctions to gain corrective action. At times, corrective action includes terminations in order to maintain a highly effective and well-run organization.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Oakland police force has operated for more than a decade under the terms of a federal court-negotiated settlement agreement that grew out of a civil rights lawsuit accusing the department of racially biased policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has to come to grips with the issues in the [negotiated settlement agreement], and try to lead the department into compliance,\" Burris said, \"recognizing that there is certainly some resistance within it, so the challenges are there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick said \"there will be no retreat\" in achieving full compliance with the federal court order. She said she had spoken with the court's independent monitor, Robert Warshaw, and those conversations will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Chicago questionnaire, Kirkpatrick described biased policing as \"a cancer\" that could be addressed only by articulating a zero-tolerance policy and the determination to back up words with action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unless there is strong leadership that will not turn a blind eye and will actually start cutting that cancer out of the department, then it will never go away,\" Kirkpatrick wrote. \"In that case, the policy is just cheap talk. When officers see that they can and will lose a career over it, then the culture will start to change. And when officers also see that promotional opportunities are based on upholding the values of a zero tolerance stand against biased-based policing, then you get a culture change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirkpatrick's brief tenure in Chicago coincided with a catastrophic increase in gun violence in the city. By the Chicago Tribune's count, the toll in 2016 included \u003ca href=\"http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/homicides\" target=\"_blank\">779 homicides\u003c/a> and more than \u003ca href=\"http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings/\" target=\"_blank\">4,300 shootings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland, too, has experienced a persistent problem with gun violence and homicides. The death toll has eased since the recent peak, 131, reached in 2012. Still, Oakland police recorded \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak062193.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">87 killings\u003c/a> in 2016, and the number recorded in the final three months of the year -- about 35 -- actually exceeded the rate seen in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Chicago questionnaire, Kirkpatrick said she'd focus on strategies she said have demonstrated success -- such as statistically based policing and the \"broken windows\" approach to focusing on \"quality of life\" offenses that is credited with reducing crime in New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In addition,\" she wrote, \"I would also apply other crime strategies that we know work such as targeting career criminals and getting guns off the streets. There are some very innovative approaches to crime fighting that include partnering with social services to get low-level drug offenders and prostitutes into social services versus jail. I also think that law enforcement should approach crime fighting by helping to reintegrate ex-offenders back into our communities. Lastly, I would seek ways to give disenfranchised youth opportunities to 'belong' in healthy relationships as alternatives to gang life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The decision ends the criminal case stemming from a controversial arrest caught on video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Videos of BART police officers arresting Michael Smith on July 29 went viral and showed the aftermath of a 911 call reporting a threatened robbery and a black man who potentially had a gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A jury acquitted Michael Smith in mid-December of four charges of battery on a police officer, but split on additional battery and resisting arrest charges. The district attorney's office could have retried him on those undecided charges, but they declined to Friday, ending the prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Body camera \u003ca href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2u1v0wn5dev8zbz/AACjyi6vlV2eO3OU-MSLPcu6a?dl=0&lst=\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a> released this week by the San Francisco Public Defender's Office shows four officers briskly approaching a westbound BART train as it pulls into Embarcadero Station. They quickly locate Smith, possibly because of the caller's description of him wearing a \"Mickey Mouse\" shirt, and with guns drawn order him to the ground. Smith doesn't appear to resist as the officers handcuff him and remove his backpack, but the videos later show him kicking and struggling with the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was slammed down to the ground, his face hit the concrete, he was put in a very painful -- what’s called a figure four leg lock twice. They also put their fists in his chest, all before he offered any real resistance,\" Adachi said, adding that Smith started to resist only after informing officers that his partner, Andrea Appleton, was pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is also a situation where his pregnant girlfriend was thrown to the ground, the officer’s knee was in her back 20 seconds after both she and Michael told the police she was pregnant,\" Adachi said. \"As a result, they lost the baby.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appleton told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Pregnant-woman-held-face-down-by-BART-police-said-10812015.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> this week that she suffered a miscarriage about two weeks after the incident.

"content": "\u003cp>A high-profile news report published this week has returned the national spotlight to frustrations over how sexual assaults on college campuses, in the Bay Area and nationwide, are handled by academic institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/29/sports/football/stanford-football-rape-accusation.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times'\u003c/a> new investigation released Thursday exposes a sexual assault charge on the campus of Stanford University and how multiple administrative panels left the accuser feeling abandoned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National statistics show that is not an anomaly. More than one-in-five undergraduate women report being sexually assaulted during college, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ccsvsftr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a study\u003c/a> released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2016. The majority of rape and sexual assault survivors said they were victimized by someone they knew. But the majority of those rapes or assaults go unreported. Only 7 percent of women who said they were raped reported the incident to a school official, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are more likely to report sexual violence to their universities or colleges than to the police. But that's left institutions to strike a delicate balance between the legal right of the victim to have a safe campus, while maintaining a fair investigation for the accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/29/sports/football/stanford-football-rape-accusation.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times \u003c/a>report, a Stanford sophomore, who is now 22, revealed she went to the room of a football player during a frat party one night. She says he raped her. He says they had consensual sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Seeking to avoid the trauma of a police investigation, the accuser turned to the university’s in-house disciplinary board, one of many on college campuses that adjudicate sexual assault cases, and it would decide whom to believe. If the panel had found that sexual assault had taken place, the man could have been expelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both times, three of the five panelists — drawn from a pool of administrators, faculty members and students — concluded that the man, who remained on the football team throughout the case and is on the roster for a bowl game Friday, committed sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At many schools, this simple majority vote would have been enough to find the accused responsible. But Stanford had set an uncommonly high bar, requiring at least a 4-1 decision.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This year, amid growing dissent over how it handles these kinds of cases, Stanford changed its procedure in a way that victims' rights advocates say favors the accused. It now requires a unanimous verdict from a three-member board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's unusual, Michele Dauber, a Stanford law professor and sexual assault survivor advocate, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This makes Stanford a significant outlier among its peer schools\", she said. \"Only one other school has a three-person unanimous panel and that's Duke. The most commonly used form of the decision is a three-person panel and it's decided by a simple majority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford officials insisted that the unanimous panel is fair, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/29/stanfords-new-process-on-sex-assault-cases-is-criticized-as-perpetrator-friendly/\" target=\"_blank\">in an interview with the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“What Stanford supports overall is due process and we want to have a process that is fair and equitable for both the accuser and the accused,” Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said Thursday. She pointed out that under the review process, the panel uses a “preponderance of evidence” standard to decide a case, a lower legal bar than “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which is applied under U.S. law in criminal cases. So if lower threshold tends to favor the accuser, said Lapin, the unanimous vote essentially serves as a counterbalance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our process,” said Lapin, “is designed so that it provides due process for both parties.” She said of 16 cases reported so far this year, six went to the three-member panel, with three of the accused found to be responsible while the other three were not.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Dauber told KQED that she finds the requirement for a unanimous verdict \"inherently unfair.\" Under this system, the accused needs only one vote in their favor to win the \"case.\" Whereas, the accuser needs all three panelists to agree to prevail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the alleged assault investigated by the New York Times, although the majority of the panelists agreed that an assault had taken place, no action was taken. The panelists first met in June 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victim left Stanford and is deciding whether to return. The accused student remains enrolled at the university and is expected to be a member of the football team in the bowl game against North Carolina today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ongoing Title IX Investigations Into Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Education Department interprets Title IX, a 1972 federal law mandating access to higher education regardless of gender, as requiring universities to investigate alleged sexual assaults. Universities have broad latitude to decide how they will conduct such investigations and rulings, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, under the Obama administration, the department has become more active in investigating and raising awareness about campus sexual assault. In 2011, the department's Office of Civil Rights urged administrators to use a preponderance of evidence, the legal standard in civil cases. This summer, the Office of Civil Rights was\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/09/stanford-tops-federal-list-with-5-sexual-violence-investigations/\" target=\"_blank\"> investigating Stanford for the handling of five cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the government lists five cases, they reflect four different incidents. In one of the matters, both the complaining student and the responding student filed concerns with OCR, an OCR communications officer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put the number of cases in context: The federal list includes 243 sexual violence cases at 192 postsecondary institutions as of June 1. Apart from Stanford, two other schools had four cases: Kansas State University and Saint Mary’s College of Maryland. Six other schools had three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford reported 39 sexual assaults on and around campus in 2015, compared to 21 in 2010, according to data reported to the federal government. However, it is possible more victims are coming forward more often, the Times notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University panels have adjudicated 22 sexual assault cases, finding in 13 that the accuser acted improperly since 2010. Only one student has been expelled for sexual assault, the Times reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's most high-profile sexual assault was tried off campus. On Jan. 17, 2015, Brock Turner, a star swimmer at Stanford, sexually assaulted an unconscious woman on campus. She called the police and pressed charges. Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky was widely criticized for imposing a six-month jail sentence rather than the six-year prison term that prosecutors had sought. Persky's short sentence -- along with his statement that \"a prison sentence would have a severe impact on [Turner]. I think he will not be a danger to others,\" and the victim's \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/heres-the-powerful-letter-the-stanford-victim-read-to-her-ra?utm_term=.mtVlb92jw#.gmgroaGqA\" target=\"_blank\">powerful letter\u003c/a> to her attacker -- fueled \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/06/481010919/california-rape-case-sentence-sparks-outrage\" target=\"_blank\">a nationwide debate\u003c/a> on how sexual assaults are handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turner was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/02/brock-turner-released-from-jail-after-three-months/\" target=\"_blank\">released after serving three months\u003c/a> of his term in a county jail.

More than one-in-five undergraduate women report being sexually assaulted during college, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ccsvsftr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a study\u003c/a> released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2016. The majority of rape and sexual assault survivors said they were victimized by someone they knew. But the majority of those rapes or assaults go unreported. Only 7 percent of women who said they were raped reported the incident to a school official, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are more likely to report sexual violence to their universities or colleges than to the police. But that's left institutions to strike a delicate balance between the legal right of the victim to have a safe campus, while maintaining a fair investigation for the accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/29/sports/football/stanford-football-rape-accusation.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times \u003c/a>report, a Stanford sophomore, who is now 22, revealed she went to the room of a football player during a frat party one night. She says he raped her. He says they had consensual sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Seeking to avoid the trauma of a police investigation, the accuser turned to the university’s in-house disciplinary board, one of many on college campuses that adjudicate sexual assault cases, and it would decide whom to believe. If the panel had found that sexual assault had taken place, the man could have been expelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both times, three of the five panelists — drawn from a pool of administrators, faculty members and students — concluded that the man, who remained on the football team throughout the case and is on the roster for a bowl game Friday, committed sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At many schools, this simple majority vote would have been enough to find the accused responsible. But Stanford had set an uncommonly high bar, requiring at least a 4-1 decision.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This year, amid growing dissent over how it handles these kinds of cases, Stanford changed its procedure in a way that victims' rights advocates say favors the accused. It now requires a unanimous verdict from a three-member board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's unusual, Michele Dauber, a Stanford law professor and sexual assault survivor advocate, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This makes Stanford a significant outlier among its peer schools\", she said. \"Only one other school has a three-person unanimous panel and that's Duke. The most commonly used form of the decision is a three-person panel and it's decided by a simple majority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford officials insisted that the unanimous panel is fair, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/29/stanfords-new-process-on-sex-assault-cases-is-criticized-as-perpetrator-friendly/\" target=\"_blank\">in an interview with the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“What Stanford supports overall is due process and we want to have a process that is fair and equitable for both the accuser and the accused,” Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said Thursday. She pointed out that under the review process, the panel uses a “preponderance of evidence” standard to decide a case, a lower legal bar than “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which is applied under U.S. law in criminal cases. So if lower threshold tends to favor the accuser, said Lapin, the unanimous vote essentially serves as a counterbalance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our process,” said Lapin, “is designed so that it provides due process for both parties.” She said of 16 cases reported so far this year, six went to the three-member panel, with three of the accused found to be responsible while the other three were not.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Dauber told KQED that she finds the requirement for a unanimous verdict \"inherently unfair.\" Under this system, the accused needs only one vote in their favor to win the \"case.\" Whereas, the accuser needs all three panelists to agree to prevail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the alleged assault investigated by the New York Times, although the majority of the panelists agreed that an assault had taken place, no action was taken. The panelists first met in June 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victim left Stanford and is deciding whether to return. The accused student remains enrolled at the university and is expected to be a member of the football team in the bowl game against North Carolina today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ongoing Title IX Investigations Into Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Education Department interprets Title IX, a 1972 federal law mandating access to higher education regardless of gender, as requiring universities to investigate alleged sexual assaults. Universities have broad latitude to decide how they will conduct such investigations and rulings, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, under the Obama administration, the department has become more active in investigating and raising awareness about campus sexual assault. In 2011, the department's Office of Civil Rights urged administrators to use a preponderance of evidence, the legal standard in civil cases. This summer, the Office of Civil Rights was\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/09/stanford-tops-federal-list-with-5-sexual-violence-investigations/\" target=\"_blank\"> investigating Stanford for the handling of five cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the government lists five cases, they reflect four different incidents. In one of the matters, both the complaining student and the responding student filed concerns with OCR, an OCR communications officer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put the number of cases in context: The federal list includes 243 sexual violence cases at 192 postsecondary institutions as of June 1. Apart from Stanford, two other schools had four cases: Kansas State University and Saint Mary’s College of Maryland. Six other schools had three cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford reported 39 sexual assaults on and around campus in 2015, compared to 21 in 2010, according to data reported to the federal government. However, it is possible more victims are coming forward more often, the Times notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University panels have adjudicated 22 sexual assault cases, finding in 13 that the accuser acted improperly since 2010. Only one student has been expelled for sexual assault, the Times reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford's most high-profile sexual assault was tried off campus. On Jan. 17, 2015, Brock Turner, a star swimmer at Stanford, sexually assaulted an unconscious woman on campus. She called the police and pressed charges. Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky was widely criticized for imposing a six-month jail sentence rather than the six-year prison term that prosecutors had sought. Persky's short sentence -- along with his statement that \"a prison sentence would have a severe impact on [Turner]. I think he will not be a danger to others,\" and the victim's \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/heres-the-powerful-letter-the-stanford-victim-read-to-her-ra?utm_term=.mtVlb92jw#.gmgroaGqA\" target=\"_blank\">powerful letter\u003c/a> to her attacker -- fueled \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/06/481010919/california-rape-case-sentence-sparks-outrage\" target=\"_blank\">a nationwide debate\u003c/a> on how sexual assaults are handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
