Some scary shit.

As Yale guidelines say, "the goal is to achieve a resolution that is desired by the [accuser]." Generally, we do not have processes in which the goal is to benefit the accuser, and this procedure is designed to give the accuser choice of and control over the process.
For a year, just how "expansive" this definition wasn't wholly clear, until, in its February 2013 report, Yale unveiled a category called "intimate partner violence," which spanned the gap from sexual assault to a student threatening a roommate with "economic abuse."
So in two different ways, Yale has made it considerably more likely that the school's students would be branded rapists. First, it changed procedures to make determinations of guilt more likely (or, in the cases of "informal" complaints, all but certain). Second, it dramatically broadened the definition of sexual assault to include activities that are not, in fact, considered sexual assault in any criminal jurisdiction in the country.

The editorial asserted that "the preferred punishment for nonconsensual sex at Yale must be expulsion." Again, keep in mind that Yale's definition of "intimate partner violence" includes threatening your roommate with "economic abuse." The "preferred punishment" for such an offense, according to the student newspaper, "must be expulsion." Expulsion for withholding money from a girlfriend or causing her worry? That ought to satisfy the "activists."
Some scary shit.
