Sexual Assault and Expulsion

Most sexual assault cases that involve college students do not cause expulsion from the college. Actually, the percentage of students that happen to get expelled is smaller than 1/3 of the student population (Kingkade, 2014). Part of the problem is that nobody really knows who should be handing out the punishments to these students. Administrative leaders all agree that rapist students should not be able to continue living on campus with the other students. Some select universities found that instead of having students expelled, the consequence was being put on probation and receiving a warning about their behavior (Kingkade, 2014). Administrative leaders are just trying to find alternatives to the entire sexual assault expulsion problem. The last thing that colleges and institutions want to do is expel students. What is the solution? What do you think colleges and universities should do about this problem?
