I get what you are saying.  Let this anecdote speak for itself.

A friend of my daughter was sexually assaulted at college.  The assault occurred of campus at a private residence.  The school's student group that "polices" school violations, from ethics to assaults, wanted the girl to falsely report the matter as unwanted advances and the perpetrator would get a slap on the wrist.  The girl said no and we all now means no.  She reported the incident to the police and the group pressured her to retract her report.  Recall that this occurred off campus and the only tie to the school was that each party was a student.  She held her ground and refused to do anything without the approval of the local D.A.

The point is that this stuff happens everywhere, even this smaller state school.  No university wants a formal investigation by a real authority (police, Feds - it turns out this guy was being investigated for other crimes!).  The assaults are covered up very well. Even for those that are not football or basketball stars (this kids was neither).  Schools that present themselves as holier than thou are placing targets on their backs waiting for a lawsuit.
