The picture all this paints for me is one of risk management.

From the time they first identify the risk, all further actions seem to focus on washing their hands and distancing themselves from that risk. Rather than helping him themselves, they rush him out the door to a dedicated facility; they forbid him from being on campus, thus ensuring that if things go wrong it'll be on somebody else's watch; and they drag their feet about letting him back into the system.

Just my opinion, but the appearance is that their primary concern was to stay out of liability's way; the actual danger to a student was secondary at best.

Ironically, in a working legal system this would actually incriminate them for negligence: they knew he was at risk and instead of making sure he has help, they locked him out so they wouldn't have to deal with him.
