Really? Even if all three of those accusations turn out to be false? Or is the assumption that if there are accusations from three separate women, then the accusations must be true?
I'd be
very uncomfortable with that. And I think the school might be leaving itself open for a lawsuit.
ETA: I'm just catching the "If a guy commits three rapes" part of your example, which somehow I missed before. Sorry about that.
I'm not clear exactly what you're suggesting. Is it that if there is
some evidence that rape was committed, but not enough evidence per incident to establish it beyond a reasonable doubt, that the three accusations should be enough to "push it over" for disciplinary purposes?
