Numerous public opinion polls show a strong bipartisan majority of American voters support due process on college campuses.[1]

Last November, the Department of Education released proposed Title IX regulations to address campus sexual misconduct. The proposed rule is designed to support both accused students and complainants.[2] These regulations are grounded in a milestone Supreme Court decision, Davis v. Monroe, and are supported by 14 appellate judicial decisions.[3]

In addition, over 50 editorials have been published that support the proposed regulations. These editorials, published both in liberal and conservative media outlets, are listed in reverse chronological order, below:
