Going to the police or not does not really have bearing here. Many folks do not seem familiar with Title IX. Unfortunately as a faculty member and one who has had to deal with this situation (although not with a student athlete) I can tell you these are completely different things. When the alleged assault occurred, the alleged victim could have a) gone to the police b) reported it to a university security authority (i.e faculty/staff member) or c) both. If she would have gone to the police, the police would have investigated it from a criminal action, however the university would have been notified either way and STILL would conduct their own investigation/adjudication from a TITLE IX ACTION. Title IX has nothing to do with criminal activity. It has to do with providing a safe and equitable environment that provides access to education for all students. It is easy to confuse and think that the university is having a "trial" of sexual assault, but in reality, while there is some overlap, the university is trying to determine if the accused has created an environment that is not safe for the accuser to go to school. It is for this reason that immediately upon the action being filed at the university, Calloway was not allowed on campus and only allowed to take online courses.
I agree UF did not do itself any favors in selecting this adjudicator. But please do not belittle the accuser just because she did not go to police.
