At some Texas universities, students accused of rape can transfer without a record

Published on July 17, 2017 under CommunityImpact

When Sierra Smith told Baylor University she’d been sexually assaulted by a classmate during a 2016 spring break trip to South Padre Island, she hoped administrators would move to protect her and other students. It took several months of investigation, but the university eventually did, suspending the male student for three semesters for violating Baylor’s sexual violence and harassment policies. But by then, the punishment had little effect. The student Smith reported had already transferred to a new school — without a blemish on his record.Via Texas Tribune
