Now I have to run, but the crux is that the police and prosecutors need to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" and the University (under the OCR Title IX Dear Colleague Letter of 2011 - and supreme court yadda yadda...) must use the lower bar “preponderance of the evidence.”

A student's claim last September that she was sexually assaulted prompted the University of Minnesota to suspend 10 Gophers football players from the team, weeks after a criminal probe resulted in no charges.
Her accusations, documented through police reports and court testimony, ultimately led to a U committee's investigation and Tuesday's decision, more than three months after the Sept. 2 incident.
