** HOW TO TALK ABOUT
TITLE IX AND DUE PROCESS ON CAMPUS ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
* Over the past decade, colleges and universities have built massive sexual misconduct bureaucracies ([link removed]) to police and discipline all manner of sexual behavior—including accidental touchings, drunken couplings, and forcible rape.
* Title IX bureaucrats often start from the premise that all accusations are truthful and disregard the time-honored principle that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty.
* Accused students are often denied any meaningful opportunity ([link removed]) to demonstrate their innocence.
* Proposed Title IX regulations clearly articulate the type of conduct prohibited by Title IX; require that schools adopt due process protections ([link removed]) for the accused, including timely, specific notice of the allegations and an opportunity to review evidence; a presumption of innocence with the burden of proof on the school; and the opportunity to test the credibility of adverse witnesses and submit evidence in one’s own defense.

------------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco restaurant owners are voluntarily adding a carbon tax to the bill of restaurant patrons. "Meal prices in San Francisco are already double the national average and this drives meals that much higher," Senior Policy Analyst Patrice Lee Onwuka says. "The area is home to high-income workers in the tech industry and they may be more than able to shell out more money on their checks, but what about middle-class diners who are squeezed by the area’s sky-high rents and housing prices, taxes, and transportation costs?"
