I think there needs to be a high level discussion on a University's responsibility in these situations. I'd like to think that most universities want to do the right thing but don't know what that is or they are ill equipped to handle the responsibility. How would a workplace handle it if there was an accusation between two employees that happened outside of work?
Granted, there are still institutions like Baylor that seem to purposefully put students at risk in favor of their football program.
The greek system is a confederation of different houses that have decided on certain rules and regulations pertaining to membership and conduct of it's members and how each other interacts with each other. Kind of like the Big 12. I guess would you expect the Big 12 to investigate the rape that happened at one of it's institutions? Sure, it needs to be reported, taken care of, proper people prosecuted for the crime, but a problem of the Big 12? I just don't think so. Weird spot to be.
I would imagine that if an investigation was going on between two employees where one accused the other of sexual assault and it happened offsite, the workplace would suspend/terminate the employee that was being accused until the trial and verdict was reached, at which if the defendant is cleared they can be reinstated, if not, the employer could just terminate them anyways since they'd being going to jail anyways if found guilty.
I guess the fairest thing k-state could do is suspend the accused until a verdict was reached, and if they felt like kicking them out they could do that too, but like, why investigate? What is there to investigate the the police shouldn't already be doing?
