A criminal investigation can take months or years. If the university deems a student to be a risk to the safety of other students, they should act immediately. If the student thinks he has been treated unfairly, he can sue and let the courts sort it out.

For example, the University of Oklahoma racist song case. No law was broken, and a police investigation would be meaningless. But do you truly believe the university should not have taken action?
