Universities already are empowered and because of Tile IX, they are more empowered than primary and secondary schools. With Title IX investigations, they have a lower burden of proof to actually do something and relaxed rules of evidence. So much so that I think there are some Constitutional issues still.
When it is he said vs. she said, rape allegations are often not prosecuted. Schools under Tile IX still have lots of options.
