<p>^^ I agree with you again, and I knew as much. But, your statement reinforces why I think it is scary. </p>
<p>Even if a court cannot find reasonable doubt (several charges were dismissed after actual discovery and before trial) means the standard for the university, which I agree is different, could range all the way down to non-existent. This means dismissal could be from political pressure instead of anything the guy ever did wrong, as he was dismissed before the trial and discovery phase. </p>
<p>I understand the school can literally do whatever it wants on the discipline front, but it does set an impossible standard for the accused because for everything I have read, it really seems just the angst over the allegation was enough to get him dismissed.</p>
<p>If it were me, the subjectivity of the school’s process is scary, especially if I did absolutely nothing wrong. And worse, what if the female was the aggressor, but then changed her tune a couple days later? Then I am up a creek with little recourse. That is scary, at least to me. I understand others may feel differently.</p>
<p>Legally, I completely agree with you too he should just drop it.</p>
