Yeah, not a fan of denigrating honest, hard working people.

But here is the real failure of the university with this whole thing...

In any scenario, they failed. Let us assume that the trolls are right in that she fully consented & just had buyer's remorse. (I don't believe this, but for the sake of argument)

You STILL have (a) wild gatherings at a frat house where unmanaged, unruly sex parties are going on that aren't safe or sane to the point that consent is not clear (people in the lifestyle(s) would be appalled), (b) illicit drugs and alcohol are being taken in massive quantities... and one is ketamine, and (c) your law enforcement agency is edited reports when handed over to the PA.

In all scenarios, they acted inappropriately to say the least.

In complete agreement.

Whatever happened that evening, and I'm sure there will be more twists and turns given how things have been going, it's a complete failure to clamp down on and control frat culture.

More importantly it's a complete policy failure that, even if the DA doesn't prosecute a case given the merits, the university can't point to everything they did proudly to say "look how far we went - everything's above board". They can't do that right now as questions loom over how they handled this.

Even if it's a "fake" case, the university should take it extremely seriously, pass everything to the DA, and if they think students have broken codes of conduct in anything 10 miles from sexual assault, they need to be gone - even if it's "fake" (it's not worth it for the university to have drug fueled frat sex parties even if everything is consensual).

Giving the impression of impropriety is often just as bad as actual impropriety.
