Raven,

I think part of the problem here is that there are two aspects: criminal, which belongs to the police and professionals, and student safety, which belongs to the university.

Stanford cannot conduct a criminal investigation and should not pretend to.

Stanford is, however, responsible for ensuring student safety and when a student is accused of sexually assaulting another student, Stanford should investigate and take appropriate action.  

In this case, the evidence was reviewed twice and both times, the majority of the reviewers concluded that  student A sexually assaulted student B.  Stanford's response - using procedural niceties to justify doing nothing.

Step away from courts and colleges. If a BP employee told HR that another employee raped them while they were working on the slope and two separate internal reviews supported their story, how long do you think it would take BP to fire the alleged rapist? 

Is Stanford's situation really any different?
