Yes, and I reject Universities having the responsibilities of handling rape and sexual assault allegations. You should be able to confront your accuser if you end up being accused, especially if you’re being falsely accused. You could provide evidence which refutes what the accuser is saying. But under the current title IX rules and regulations it’s virtually impossible for the accused to do that.
 
So what, are the accused just to take their punishment because someone accused them?

Universities need to act decisively against incidents that occur on campus.
In the case of past events, the admission processes tend, in the interest of safety to be conservative, but an effort is made, consistent with safety, to allow a fresh start for people with prior records.
 
In the work place if there is an allegation made against you, you are not fired before a fair investigation is conducted.

People have made it very clear that the changed Title IX rules did not allow a fair investigation.
 
University officials often say that college disciplinary proceedings are “educational,” not punitive. As a result, they argue that students in college disciplinary proceedings are not entitled to procedural protections. But courts have disagreed. The law is clear: Due process protections are required for students facing disciplinary hearings at public universities. As noted above, people are entitled to due process rights whenever they have “liberty” or “property” interests at stake—and both interests are most certainly at stake in public university disciplinary hearings.
