For at least a decade, media outlets have willfully discarded the Constitutional right to due process for college students accused of sexual assault. The New York Times has been one of the leading outlets for this kind of advocacy, often appearing to disregard due process for those accused of a heinous crime while sticking up for the due process rights of students accused of cheating.
This disconnect was shown earlier this year, when the Times wrote about an online cheating debacle at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine. It’s a good article, taking apart Dartmouth’s attempts to accuse medical students of cheating based on monitoring their online activity during remote tests. The Times noted that the software used to accuse the students was inaccurate, as it was not designed as a forensic tool and could log activity data even when a student wasn’t actually using a device.
