There's a new bill designed to "combat the epidemic of sexual violence on college campuses."
First, there is no epidemic as evidenced by their own numbers:
So 6,016 sexual assaults (no requirement for any actual evidence of course) were reported from the entire college population - almost 21 million students. That's less than 3/10s of a percent.
Second, check out this part:
And what of the damages to the wrongly accused?
Then there's this part:
It's suspicious that no actual number is given, just an increase of 1000% - sounds like a LOT, right? According to the letter they quote, the actual numbers are 20 in 2009 and 123 in 2014. That's not a misprint, it was 123 and they had to include elementary, secondary and post-secondary education to get all the way up to 123! So, out of every child in every level of schooling, 123 instances of sexual violence occurred.
Also, going from 20 to 123 isn't 1000% but I'll let that slide since these women aren't well educated.

The HALT Campus Sexual Violence Act would increase funding for Title IX and Clery investigators and also allow students to sue universities for violations of the Clery Act in order to obtain, among other things, compensatory damages.
And what of the damages to the wrongly accused?
Then there's this part:

Title IX, reported that between FY2009 and FY2014, sexual violence complaints at institutions of higher education increased by more than 1000 percent. OCR noted that the number of complaints has made it difficult for the Department to complete timely investigations.
