Yeah that’s the issue. There’s no reprecussions because of the religious and “we don’t want to ruin a young man’s life” reasoning.
They also punish women for reporting, basically. There’s a strict mormon “honor code” that all students have to abide by. So if you are raped, but had a drink or were in a man’s dorm then sorry those are not allowed - and you’re admitting to those while we still have to investigate the rape allegations, so we’ll punish you for your infractions while we determine of you’re lying about the rape.
So, it’s an open secret that there is a lot of sexual assault there and it goes unreported and there are essentially no consequences for men.
