The rules don't have to be as permissive as some might want. Rape accusations on campuses are investigated according to "preponderance of the evidence" even though a defendant at trial in a criminal court would be tried to a much higher standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt". Some students want a peaceful campus and quiet contemplation they just don't want to hear about Global Whales Being Warmed By Fracking Tobacco Interests. |
