So the main arguments against my proposal are that even if many peripheral laws were changed, it would not be possible to keep it private.
BTW, he is not an admitted rapist if he is forced to stay a few nights. It is not a guilty plea. Do you think explaining his expulsion would be any easier?
As for the guy being let back into the dorms, this is the same guy you said was possibly innocent and thus can’t be forced into jail.
Title 9 requires schools to take effective action, such as schedule changes and apartment changes. It does not mandates expulsions or transcript markings. OCR even told schools it is not supposed to be disciplinary, though many schools have activists who are harsh none the less.
As for outside of college, every state lets police hold someone for 48 hours without charging them, if they at least have probable cause. They rarely do hold men on rape charges since they doubt new evidence will surface. Rape is the one crime where you are not likely to be arrested. I guess I’m just not convinced there is no way to mandate it be kept private, if police can’t inform the press and must even lie to them if asked, and if employers may not ask on applications, and if employs are legally allowed to lie, and if it did not show up on his record. It would not be just for an accusation, but for a believable sounding one, short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
