well there is one student who did end up leaving b/c a player (who was found guilty of assaulting her) wasn't suspended from school. but we have to balance the rights of all parties. the other extreme, which i abhor, involves suspended the alleged perpetrator. that's just as terrible b/c that person may not be guilty of anything
i didn't read the whole report, but who else had their lives made hell?

So like I said, you believe that Aaron hernandez should have been allowed to play football, sign autographs for children, be in the community after he was charged with murder, only because the word 'guilty' wasn't read yet?

well that decision is up to the Pats. that's subject to the NFL CBA and if the Pats violated the CBA, he has recourse through that procedure. there isn't a similar regulatory body overseeing these incidents on campus
plenty of NFL players have played while accused of crimes and plenty were found innocent (or partially innocent)

well if the alleged victims still filed criminal charges then what damage was done?
i don't agree with the practice, but i don't think any university employee should be investigating or contacting the victim in these scenarios. it's a criminal issue at that point and should be handled by actual police/prosecutors

i always saw it reported as they didn't force him out of the class

Still have no idea what the difference is between accused and charged so I'm done trying to get it into your mind.

i agree. this is a cautionary tale as to why universities shouldn't be involved in this
i'm not defending these behaviors. it's bad shite. i'm saying if the ultimate result ended up with real criminal charges the objective effects are not that great. i said earlier if one person didn't file a criminal report b/c of this, then that's 1 too many

yes
the schools either go way towards the alleged victim or way towards the alleged perpetrator
i don't know if there is a workable middle ground in these scenarios, so the schools should be OUT of it

if they wouldn't let her transfer that's terrible

Uhh, should the Coaching Changes board be fired up again?

This situation is totally different from those at Ohio State and Penn State. Everyone knew the NCAA was going to drop the hammer on those schools when they fired their respective coaches.
Baylor did this on their own. No one "forced them". The situation analogous to Baylor's is Arkansas' firing of Bobby Petrino.
In both cases, the universities acted to protect the schools from (further) liability. Even it took firing extremely successful head football coaches.
If you don't applaud actions like these, you won't encourage future actions like them.

well a public body with specific criminal laws regulating it is more accountable than a private school like Baylor
and if a university railroads an alleged suspect there is no recourse other than civil

so they took a questionable transfer and when he acted up, he never played a down for the team until he was convicted?

It was a lot worse than that, this story is over a year old, search is your friend.
