This is what happens when a university prosecutes an alleged rape

Article here. Excerpt:

'If you were charged with a heinous sex crime, you would assume that the investigation of the allegation would be impartial and fair. Indeed, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance mandates that universities undertake “adequate, reliable, and impartial investigation of complaints.” Likewise, the OCR’s 2011 Dear Colleague Letter on campus violence instructed that, “a school’s investigation and hearing processes cannot be equitable unless they are impartial.”

But what if it turned out colleges were ignoring the OCR’s impartiality requirement, and instead training investigators to adhere to “victim-centered” approaches, which in practice means “always believe the victim”?
...
Two days later the Montana District Court ruled against the request on technical grounds. But Judge Dana Christensen sharply criticized the university’s adjudication procedures, explaining:

“Indeed, from a normative perspective, the process applied to Plaintiff Doe and the behavior of University officials in investigating and prosecuting this matter offends the Court's sense of fundamental fairness and appears to fall short of the minimal moral obligation of any tribunal to respect the rights and dignity of the accused.” (p. 208)."'
