GRAND FORKS, N.D., July 15, 2011—In a stark demonstration of the failure of campus judicial procedures, the University of North Dakota (UND) has found a student guilty of sexual assault despite the fact that local police refused to charge him with a crime and instead charged his accuser for lying about the incident. Former student Caleb Warner has been banned by UND from stepping foot on any state public campus for three years. Meanwhile, his accuser has been wanted by the Grand Forks Sheriff's Department for more than a year on the charge of making a false report to law enforcement


Quote:
Shockingly, Evans asserted that the university used the very same evidence to find Caleb Warner guilty of sexual assault that the police and prosecutor used to charge his accuser with lying to law enforcement. Evans further insisted that the fact that Warner's accuser had not responded to the charge against her was meaningless and that she could not even assume that his accuser knew about the charge against her. (Warner reports that a Grand Forks policeman told him that she actually does know about the charge.)


What I don't understand is, sexual assault is a crime, why would the justice be in the hands of, or why would the university pass a judgement pre actual law? Did they learn nothing from the Duke case?

So the campus to say they are doing something. They get sued if they do something they get sued if they do not do something. It sucks for the campus in a way. But hey now the guy gets all the money of having a job without actually having to work aka a lawsuit
