I am still squeamish about these Title IX panels and have my doubts as to the constitutionality of how they are conducted and especially as to the qualifications of the adjudicators of those tribunals, but I understand the good intentions behind them.

Kevin, is this one of the reports you read? The story deals with the "particularly absurd" rewarding of a perp who admits to what he has done:

That Eramo person is Exhibit A of why Title IX is a complete freakin' joke. Here's a lady who has little to no legal training who is in charge of making a quasi-judicial determination. She has no business doing that.

And the kids in these situations.. this guy just admitted whatever he admitted and it's basically up to the school to determine what if any consequences there will be.

As far as sharing information with law enforcement, a lot of what occurs in these investigations is going to fall under FERPA, so absent me not knowing something, this is kind of an unintended consequence of FERPA and should probably be looked at by Congress.
