The fundamental problem here is that we have two parallel systems of justice. One is a real justice system, with law enforcement investigators, courts, attorneys, judges, juries, and established law and procedures and sanctions that have been worked through over time. We have skilled and experienced and licensed people doing this very difficult work of criminal justice. In cases of sexual assault involving young people, usually involving alcohol, usually occurring in private, involving questions of consent, the cases are especially difficult to decide fairly. 

The other system of essentially criminal justice is housed in our universities. This has been forced on the universities by the Civil Rights Office of the Department of Education and its broad interpretation of Title IX. It is a makeshift system that must--whenever a mention of sexual assault is even overheard--conduct an investigation, reach a decision, and enforce sanctions. Universities are manifestly unfit for these tasks.
