"Student conduct investigators also...in many instances, required a far greater proof than preponderance."
This is straight out of the Dear Colleague letter which requires colleges to apply a "preponderance of the evidence" standard (50.1%) to sexual assault allegations.
Baylor's "rigid approach was not trauma-informed and was overly reliant on the perceived consistency or inconsistency of complainant's statements to the exclusion of other relevant considerations.... [I]ndividual administrators were not adequately trained in the dynamics of sexual and gender-based violence...."
Translation: they relied on testimony from the involved parties and didn't find enough sexual violence. Gotta keep the 1 in 5 number alive. I can tell you it's absolutely an OCR goal/objective/metric to increase sexual violence statistics. Juke 'em.
