Separate allegations of sexual assault by Sulaimon came from two female students in the 2013-14 academic year. Both students voiced allegations publicly, but neither filed a complaint through the Office of Student Conduct or took legal action through the Durham Police Department. The students declined to discuss their allegations with The Chronicle.
In October 2013, a female student said in a large group session at the student-led diversity retreat Common Ground that Sulaimon had sexually assaulted her, three retreat participants said. At the following semester's Common Ground retreat beginning in February 2014, a second female student said she had been sexually assaulted by Sulaimon, according to four retreat participants.

The allegations were brought to the attention of a team psychologist in March 2014, the anonymous affiliate said. That month, the allegations were brought to Krzyzewski and assistant coaches Jon Scheyer and Nate James and associate head coach Jeff Capel The anonymous affiliate said other athletic administrators were then made aware of the allegations. Among the administrators identified by the anonymous affiliate were Mike Cragg, deputy director of athletics and operations; Director of Basketball Operations David Bradley; and Kevin White, vice president and director of athletics.
The allegations were also brought to the attention of Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president of student affairs and dean of students, according to the anonymous affiliate. "Nothing happened after months and months of talking about [the sexual assault allegations]," the anonymous affiliate said. "The University administration knew. Kevin White knew, Mike Cragg knew."

Edit: at me for biting on your title. You can't do anything if it's not reported.

I guess you did not read the whole article. As the women never reported it to the police or Student Conduct.
Until it is reported and statements are made, you can not kick someone off a team just because you think it may have happened. Duke is required by Title IX to look into any sexual assault when reported and take action.

Pretty much makes this a non story.

I'm not sure there was any type of proof or knowledge of who the accusers were, at least by the coaching staff and administration. If that's the case then there's no way they could have just kicked him off the team

If there was no report to the police or school then there's nothing he can do

You probably should have waited for someone else to start such a thread.

What assistant takes the fall on this one?

I think Duke should immediately kick off any athlete accused of any sexual mischief whether there is any proof of such allegation or not. Just imagine if it was lacrosse players accused. We all know how rowdy those guys are.

Played on the same high school team as Rasheed, he was always a douche but sexual assault would shock me

So the administration needs to report the accusation but to whom? I assume the police or higher ups but what then.. He was eventually kicked off. Ive got to imagine its tough to immediately suspend or dismiss a player when all you have are accusations made at a retreat.

Just curious what they are supposed to do when neither alleged victim reports the alleged incidents to anyone.

Here comes everyone to the rescue of of Coach K because it's Duke basketball and there's no way they can do no wrong but Joe Pa and Penn State football deserved what they got, amirite?

That's about all you need to know

And this is part of the reason rape victims end up not being taken seriously.
If they wanted him gone then they should've filed a complaint with the appropriate authorities. It sounds like they didn't have a problem notifying everybody else and their mother. So why not the police?
