That being said, most sexual assault victims don’t want to go to the police for several reasons. Many want to use their colleges’ process. Do some reading about where the victims are treated when they report and you might understand where they are coming from. You might not be so flippant about saying they should call the cops.

No they didn't.  LAC and SLACs usually did not have on-site legal counsel.  Only because of the absurdly written "Dear Colleague" letters sent out during the Obama administration were small LACs and SLACs put into the position of having an on-site lawyer.  Before that, they would use the higher ed specialists at certain big law firms who had such a practice (rare because it doesn't generate a lot of money).  Because of the irresponsible "Dear Colleague" letters sent out by ED during the Obama admin. did colleges even have to worry about this.  Now they do in a big way but at great cost to the college, which is reflected in tuition.[/quote]
