I have been involved (not as an accused!) with these college administrative actions numerous times. They are completely unfair to the guy (inevitably, it is a guy). In our jurisdiction, the actual prosecutor would advise both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator to NOT cooperate with the school. If the perp actually did it, the criminal case could be compromised. If he didn’t do it, he could convict himself by statements made without counsel at the school tribunal.

Secretary DeVos should be praised for her actions on this.

So for my non-legal mind, that means if the alleged perp cooperated with the school, it would be much harder to get a conviction?

Oh, irony, a huge loophole in there to protect an actual rapist and get another guy condemned....

This is some sick devilry.
