JMU Title IX Lacks Due Process
In this episode, Mark and Vec discuss NCLA’s newest lawsuit against James Madison University (JMU) and the Department of Education.
NCLA filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia against JMU and the Dept. of Education on behalf of Alyssa Reid. NCLA also released a video outlining the case of Ms. Reid, a former employee in the JMU School of Communication Studies. Sadly, Alyssa’s saga provides yet another example of how Title IX has been hijacked and weaponized to exact revenge for a bad breakup. NCLA’s complaint argues that the actions of JMU, assisted by the Dept. of Education, deprived Ms. Reid of her rights and entitlements as protected by the constitutions of both the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as by Title IX itself.

BOP Ordered to Send Inmates Back to Prison
Later in the episode, Mark asks if the Bureau of Prisons must send people back to prison when they were earlier released to home confinement due to COVID-19?
Last March, Congress authorized the Justice Department to declare an emergency that would expand the pool of low-level, non-violent federal inmates who could qualify for home confinement, in an effort to contain COVID-19’s spread throughout the federal prison system.
In January, however, the department issued a legal opinion that once the emergency is lifted, the Bureau of Prisons will have no choice but to “recall prisoners in home confinement to correctional facilities” because the authority to send more people home was only temporary.
