No, but you have a right to speak out about it. I'm not the biggest fan of Title IX and some of the attitudes surrounding sex and relationships and all that, but if you're a victim of sexual assault that's a full-stop right there. Regardless of the religious affiliation of your university, it is a crime, and should be investigated just as it would be anywhere else. What's the point of even having an outlet for people to report these kind of things if they're going to be in fear of consequences on their own end? It's suppression of reporting, if anything.

If a university had no place in criminal proceedings this entire article and discussion would be moot.
