Returning Due Process to Campus

It has always struck me as a very weird practice for colleges to be adjudicating criminal matters like rape.

Part of the problem is the abdication of most police forces and DAs to prosecute rape, date rape in particular.

The university system fills the gap, sometimes poorly.

I’m not sure it’s an abdication - but rather the result of the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard being hard to overcome in a “he said she said” situation.

I'm sure that's part of it, but police departments have an atrocious record when it comes to investigating sexual assault: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2019/07/nati...
