Given the extreme liberal nature of most college campuses it's no surprise that feminism has moved colleges in the direction of gender based discrimination where you get punished for having a penis whether you're accused of rape or even if you got raped
The police on the other hand (much to the chagrin of our resident feminists) focus on evidence and due process which means you are innocent until proven guilty - and they might even go after the person who made false rape accusations.
I could not believe that this case existed when I heard about it but it demonstrates the difference between college and police investigations and why colleges cannot be trusted to investigate these cases. Police issue an arrest warrant for the woman who made a false accusation of rape while the college's kangaroo court branded the accused man a rapist then kicked him out. Afterwards the college actually claimed the arrest warrant for the woman doesn't change anything for them until mounting public pressure forced them to change their decision.
Knowing that this is the norm across all colleges I'd say they ought to be barred from investigating these cases as they cannot be trusted and that the police should be ones investigating them to ensure that justice is served. Curious where our resident pardians stand on this issue.

Immediately after the university found him guilty, Warner, already branded a rapist on campus, began to worry about even more serious consequences with the Grand Forks Police Department. But there was hope. As it turned out, the woman had filed a complaint with the police department, but a detective concluded that she had lied. In May 2010, local police discovered that she had given different accounts to witnesses and had “sent Caleb a text message days after the party that indicated that she wanted to have intercourse with him.”
When police issued an arrest warrant for the woman, she left the school and the state of North Dakota, and never returned. America Tonight tried to find her, but did not.
With the new information, Warner thought the university would allow him back. But the university rejected a call for a new hearing, stating that Warner did not file within the required five class days after the initial sanction was announced. After that, the university rejected Warner’s appeal for a second time, stating that the police complaint and warrant against the accuser “would not be substantial new evidence,” adding that the complaint “would be an unproven allegation.”
