I posted the story here but I think it deserves its own thread.

Just in case someone thought things are about to get better with this -- the White House is now stepping in and ratcheting up the pressure for colleges to hound and ruin the lives of normal dudes all over the country because of an imagined "rape epidemic" on college campuses:

WASHINGTON — Reacting to a series of highly publicized rapes on college campuses, the White House is increasing the pressure on universities across the country to more aggressively combat sexual assaults on campus.

Administration officials released guidelines on Monday that colleges should follow, including recommendations that administrators conduct anonymous surveys of sexual assault cases. The White House is likely to ask Congress for measures that would enforce the recommendations.

Quote:

The report will also urge universities to better ensure that sexual assault reports remain confidential. Sometimes fears that reports will not remain confidential can discourage victims from coming forward.

The task force further found that many assault prevention training efforts are not effective, and it will recommend that universities and colleges institute programs like those used at the University of New Hampshire and University of Kentucky, which train bystanders how to intervene.

Quote:

The task force says that one in five college students has been assaulted, but just 12 percent of such attacks are reported.

“The American people have kind of woken up to the fact that we’ve got a serious problem when 20 percent of coeds say they’ve been sexually assaulted,” said Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat of California.

Quote:

Under the new crackdown, the White House will urge colleges and universities to conduct “climate surveys,” in which participants anonymously report their experiences with unwanted physical contact, sexual assault or rape, and how their schools responded. Some lawmakers would like to see such surveys mandatory and to possibly make federal funds like Pell grants contingent on their being carried out.

Ms. Speier would like to see the government do more, liked requiring schools to post Title 9 rights and where students should go if raped.

Quote:

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, and Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, who both spent much of last year trying to legislatively police sexual assault in the armed forces, have now turned significant attention to such problems on the nation’s campuses.

“After a year of working hard to reform how the military handles sexual assault cases,” Ms. Gillibrand said in an email, “the stories I have heard from students are eerily similar. Once again the problem is systemic, survivors feel twice betrayed, and reform is required.” The report from the White House task force, she said, “is a step forward, but senators on both sides of the aisle will continue to study the problem and look at needed legislative solutions.”

Ms. McCaskill, a former prosecutor, plans to conduct her own survey of 350 colleges and universities nationwide to monitor their handling of sexual assault cases. The two are among nearly a dozen senators seeking new federal funding to battle campus sexual assaults. Ms. Gillibrand also has asked the White House to better centralize the functions of the Department of Education to deal with sexual assault.

In other words:

-- The White House is now insisting on a witchhunt of men on college campuses
-- The "victims" will be allowed to remain anonymous so that they can slander men with complete impunity, not even their reputations will be threatened
-- Cockblocking "bystanders" will now be mandatorily trained and enabled to spy on and hound guys everywhere
-- Ludicrous "climate surveys" will create an atmosphere of fear and encourage "victims" to come forward
-- The egregious "20%" lie is being repeated over and over again
-- Leading this charge are two hag lawyers/prosecutors who have previously done their best to destroy the US military and are now trying to do the same thing to college campuses

Grim stuff getting worse from day to day.
