UCLA prof blasts new rule that he must report ‘possible’ sexual harassment to ‘Title IX cops’

In a blog post earlier this week, Bainbridge excerpted an email from Chancellor Gene Block explaining the new reporting regime for “sexual harassment and sexual violence.”

Bainbridge said it “offends the very substantial reasons that Anglo-American law has generally refused to imposed mandatory Good Samaritan rules,” and ignores even informing the alleged victim that the professor is required to report.
