Mizzou Faces Loss Of Funding Threat Over Lack Of Due Process In Sex Assault Accusations

The University of Missouri (Mizzou) just can’t seem to stay out of the news.

Earlier this week, Missouri State Sen. Bob Onder (R-St. Charles County), suggested the school might have its funding cut after concerns arose that the university does not provide adequate due process to accused students. During testimony in a Tuesday hearing, The Kansas City Star reported, Columbia, MS, attorney Chris Slusher said students accused of sexual assault regularly have their due process rights violated. In one example, he said a school gave him five days to put together a defense for an accused student. He also said schools appear to ignore exculpatory evidence.
