The purpose of internal disciplinary systems is to have a weaker burden of proof.<p>Meeting &quot;beyond a reasonable doubt&quot; is very difficult when the victim and perpetrator are in something resembling a romantic relationship and behind closed doors, to the point that almost no rapists would be found guilty.<p>Schools instead use the standard of &quot;more likely than not&quot; to return a finding of &quot;responsible,&quot; which means the school can get rid of the rapist, even if there&#x27;s not enough evidence to put him in prison. Lower certainty required for a less drastic action.<p>If only cases that DAs think are winners get acted on, the vast majority of campus rapes are immune from punishment.
