Nothing very different about these cases from what we have seen elsewhere although I thought this fact was different:
"University police never spoke to the woman the undergrad was accused of assaulting and no criminal charges were ever pursued, his lawsuit says. The father’s report was referred to the UT dean of students."
The father of a non-student (and not a minor apparently since it was not reported to police) made the allegation and the student is facing expulsion. The woman did not report or even speak to the university!
We have also had a conversation about duties to report to police or policies advising against faculty and staff notifying police. Here is what UT says:
"UT is not obligated to tell police of alleged sexual assaults, except in “extreme cases” such as an assault involving a minor, said Paul Liebman, UT’s chief compliance officer. That policy is “consistent with the premise that someone who’s come forward as a victim should be able to control their own destiny,” he said."
