That’s a misunderstanding of Title IX. Under the Obama administration’s guidelines, incidents of sexual harassment and assault on university campuses were treated as violations of the victim’s civil rights. They were required to give a hearing if a purported victim came forward with an accusation to determine, using the “preponderance of evidence” standard, whether the alleged incident occurred, and if so, to discipline the student responsible under the university’s code of conduct. This might take the form of counseling, probation, suspension, expulsion, or whatever.

The Trump administration relaxed the requirement that universities adhere to the “preponderance of evidence” standard.

This is all, for incidents where a crime occurred, in parallel to the usual criminal court system. No university Title IX panel is trying criminal cases.
