I don't understand the first question.
You said "I support Jessica's point that males are often victims too but awareness of the problem is pretty much dead due to gender roles."
Her point was the above, plus that if men raped less things would also balance out. It bugged me that you'd only engaged with half of what she said.
It's circumstantial and verbal to accuse of cheating / plagiarism, like I said
No, it's not. I don't know what you mean by 'verbal' - an accusation is an accusation whether it's spoken, written or in interpretive dance - but an eyewitness account of someone cheating is not circumstantial evidence.
The FBI link shows that people were being wrongly convicted of rape by criminal courts up to 1996. I'm assuming your point is that if the criminal courts can get things wrong, college tribunals are as likely if not more likely to? That's correct. No law is applied perfectly, no judicial process will be right 100% of the time. And before we carry on I should say I agree that colleges aren't dealing with these accusations well. They're not dealing with them well both for the accused and the victim however. I don't think there's some kind of crackdown on men happening here.
The actual literal examples you've chosen;
Columbia 'mattress carrier' - The college took interim measures against the accused, which were reversed when his innocence was established. Public opinion is still tricky for him, but that's not within the college's power to control, unfortunately. Beyond that, it's hitting the problems that rape cases strike whether they're in college or not; the accusation creates a stink and if the victim is unwilling to take it to court, it's not really cleared up. Sucks, but it's not college-specific.
March 16th - "The women don’t feel closure...They feel betrayed by Brown. The accused student says he’s lost faith in Brown. No one feels justice was done." The college bungled the investigation. This isn't about their burden of proof, it's just that their investigation was incompetent.
March 19th - It's a guy appealing their decision. Appeals against these kind of things happen all the time - until they're settled, you can't read anything into it I would say. Where it talks more generally, there are clearly decisions that were poor and reversed on appeal - but then appeals succeed at all levels of court. Like I said, no system is perfect.
March 20th - THis is no relevance to college rape tribunals beyond that the guy is a college student. This case has been dealt with entirely by the police, and we're talking about campus policies here.
That home office article you've linked - I'm not sure what you think it proves. You've bolded that victims often withdraw their evidence, which seems to be your way of suggesting they're withdrawing because the accusations are false? Which is far from the only reason a victim may withdraw their accusation.
As for the process - clearly colleges aren't doing a consistently good job of dealing with sexual assault allegations. These shortcomings are making lives worse for victims, the accused and victims of false or unclear accusations. Further, these problems seem to be more often down to a shitty investigation and containment process early on than their standard of proof to act against a student.
