If a crime occurs in my workplace, we have to call the CAMPUS POLICE not the CITY POLICE. The Campus Police are actual police officers and their jurisdiction is the campus.

So a rape victim should be able to report a rape but should never be subject to (even tactless) questions? Don't be silly. If someone is the victim of a grave physical assault (fractured skull, broken limbs, etc.) can the police ask if the victim started the fight or threw the first punch? Or is that too scary?
If this is true, why are there literally THOUSANDS of untested rape kits sitting in police labs (some of which are a decade old)?
Your initial comment was something along the lines of "go to the fucking police", n'est pas?
So fucking stupid. Yes, I'm victim shaming - that would appear to be the maximum extent of nuance you are capable of comprehending.
If you are raped and then proceed, immediately to a police station to have a rape kit performed, abuse/trauma documented, statement given, and details on record, I think you will be taken very seriously an overwhelming percentage of the time.
Not as a function of a criminal investigation, prosecution, chain-of-evidence, etc.
You doubted her story because you believed no police would hand a case back to the university. She said they directed her back to the university and campus police. I'm glad you now understand that campus police have jurisdiction over campus crimes.
This. Totally agree.
you're ignoring the part of her comment that said she was directed to campus police.
IT WAS REPORTED TO POLICE. I don't know how much more clearly I can state that. I got sent back to the administration because it was a violation of the student code of conduct and it happened on campus.
No, you're gross for ignoring BurnBaby's statement that the police directed her back to the university. Maybe they shouldn't have, but what is a victim's response at that point?
See: every successful criminal rape prosecution in history.
I don't think you understand how university codes of conduct work.
Yes, and perhaps you don't understand the distinction between large universities with sworn police departments and that given university's administration.
I don't think you understand how universities work. I don't think you understand how the criminal justice system handles rape cases. (I can be condescending, too!)
And you're still a moron.
If someone reported a mugging, do you think the officers would be asking them, "are you sure the person took your wallet? Could you have given it to them freely?
And yet you completely fail to address either point.
