Do you have an actual point or are you just typing random statements and hitting 'publish'?

You don't think that if you walk into a police station and report a rape, 99% of the time the police are going to open an investigation?

the officers are likely to dissuade women from filing a report in the first place ("are you sure it was rape? You had been drinking, could it have just been a misunderstanding?").

No, it's not irrelevant because the school has an obligation to investigate any violations of its conduct code. They're not "handling a felony" because the university system does not view it as a criminal matter, only as a violation of their conduct code.

and that there is no system that enables or puts any kind of hurdles in place of reporting said felony, even by police officers that are "friendly" to a university.

Show me specific, verifiable examples of where police deferred the criminal investigations of multiple, felony-level violations of state law to university administrations. And how this practice is in any way widespread and a matter of regular police policy.

Good luck with that.

No, universities are not equipped to investigate, handle a legally admissible chain-of-evidence, and prosecute a possible felony. Nor do police advise them to as a matter of practice. This is reality, not some shitty teen TV drama.

Sexual assault is considered a violation of the student conduct code.

You certainly know every single law in the land and know that they are handled equally and openly in the ways they are meant to.

All of which are the anecdotal exceptions, not the rule. No justice system is perfect, but that's not an existential argument against their public utility. They are far more appropriately equipped to investigate felonies than any university administration.

Really, do they have their own detectives, forensic analysts, court systems, judges, morgues, coroners, et al.? Or are they merely an extension of the existing municipal or county justice system?

The police is perfect. Yes they are.

Yay! A moron (gender neutral) is here to explain why reporting a felony to a university for administrative punishment makes more sense than going to the police to report an actual crime!

For telling people to go directly to the police when a serious crime has been committed and not involve their given university at any point? You're a moron. Truly.

Why do you think girls are carrying their mattresses and having rallies to protest how their campuses handle these things?

From your linked article:

They told me it was out of their jurisdiction and it would have to be handled by campus police and a student hearing.

our already unhealthy university justice system.
