Yes, they were supposed to update it to the "preponderance of the evidence" standard. That's not why the failure occurred, however. The failure was within the system's treatment of the accused. Preponderance of the evidence is not difficult to prove, and even in a he-said/she-said situation, having tried in a court of law (not to a panel of women's studies professors, mind you), a lot is assigned to credibility and demeanor, things which can be completely arbitrary.
