Disillusionment with

QOM, Iran Before the


1979 Islamic Revolution, this
city was pious and sedate.

tures women with scarves
over their heads, men clad in
clerical robes, a single gold-
en dome, old storks in the
sky, one spiritless garden, a
handful of lonely trees.
Qom became the bed-
rock of Irans theocracy and
remains one of the countrys
holiest places home to
200,000 religious scholars, a
destination for Shiite Mus-
lim pilgrims and a center of
Islamic thought in a country
whose political system is
controlled by the clerical es-
tablishment.
But the city of about
1 million is no longer single-
mindedly religious, and its
clerics are not immune to
the anxieties bubbling be-
neath the surface of modern
Iran.

Womens groups fear that
if the guidelines are

policy could lead to a process
that better considers the
rights of those accused.

The rules in question gov-
ern Title IX, a 1972 law best
known for the provision re-
quiring schools to allow boys
and girls to equally partici-
pate in sports. The law had
long been used to ban sexual
harassment and assault in
schools.
Under Obama, the De-
partment of Educations Of-
fice for Civil Rights substan-
tially beefed up enforcement
of that policy, advising col-
leges how they should inves-
tigate incidents and warning
of possible penalties should
they fail. Among other
things, the Obama guide-
lines set a timetable for in-
vestigating cases and called
for school administrators to
use a lower standard of evi-
dence than usually required
in criminal assault com-
plaints.
According to Kathleen
Salvaty, the University of
Californias systemwide Ti-

HURRICANE IRMA

Florida peril: Leave. Get out.


[Irma, from A1]
Miami Beach, called Irma a
nuclear hurricane. Irmas
leading edge was expected
to reach Florida as soon as
Saturday, and Gov. Rick
Scott spoke of a cata-
strophic storm that our
state has never seen.
The hurricane has left a
string of small, devastated
Caribbean islands counting
their dead and struggling to
restore links to the outside
world. Chaotic conditions
hampered efforts to compile
a fatality toll, which officials
said reached at least 13 and
would probably grow.
Three people died in the
U.S. Virgin Islands and three
more in Puerto Rico, their
respective governors said,
and the Netherlands govern-
ment confirmed a fatality in
St. Maarten, the shattered
Dutch side of the island it
shares with St. Martin, a
French territory. French of-
ficials, however, revised
downward from eight to four
the number of people con-
firmed dead on the French
side.
As the storm passed
Puerto Rico, it dealt the U.S.
territory what was in meteo-
rological terms a glancing
blow, but one that landed
like a stunning punch, exac-

The baffling fact is that the United

were weaker in kind and degree than those

U.S. They were also far weaker than sanc-

Judge lets brain-death suit proceed


Ruling sends case of

for jury to determine
whether she is alive.

SAN FRANCISCO A
California judge has ruled
that a teenage girl declared
brain-dead more than three
years ago after a tonsillec-

alive, allowing a malpractice
lawsuit against the hospital
to proceed.
Alameda County Judge
Stephen Pulido ruled Tues-

determine whether Jahi Mc-

The family is seeking
damages from Childrens

find a more meaningful way
to help, she said.
So she founded the Essie
Justice Group, a support
network for women whose
loved ones are in prison. The
organization has been one of
several civil rights and advo-
cacy nonprofits that have
pushed a hotly debated
state legislative package to
overhaul how courts grant
offenders bail before trial in
California. After one those
bills stalled in the Assembly,
Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday
delayed action on a second,
identical bill until next year,
but pledged to continue
working on the issue with
members from all three
branches of government.
Until then, at group ses-
sions in Los Angeles and the
Bay Area, the nonprofit is
continuing to train its mem-
bers to share their personal
experiences with incarcera-
tion and bail. They hope to
persuade lawmakers to op-
pose a cash bail system they
say adversely and dispro-

women and Latinas.

schedule ballooned, going
from a planned 52 days to
