Robert Tackles OCR's Threat to Campus Rights on WGN Radio
FIRESenior Vice President Robert Shibley will be featured on Chicago's at 11:05 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning. Tune in or as Robert tackles the federal Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights' (OCR's) controversial guidance for universities in its April 4 "Dear Colleague" letter, which threatens student rights on our nation's campuses.
Robert will also be discussing pundit Michael Barone's recent take on the OCR letter in his for The Examiner. OCR's mandate, which continues to foster concern in the media, requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to employ the low "preponderance of the evidence" evidentiary standard ("more likely than not") when adjudicating complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence.
