If they favor the victim, then they will tend to punish people who would not have been found guilty of a crime in a court of law, and so it is very hard to determine if the accused was given due process.
If they favor the accused, then they direct complaints away form the legal system and thereby protect criminals.
I think that the support system that the university provides should be more oriented towards directing people who consider themselves to be victims towards the legal system, not trying to replace the legal system. Then there would be no expectation that Harvard define sexual assault or rape in a particular way, and the responsibility for defining these things would fall where it belongs: with lawmakers and the courts.

Is the some reason she can't call the police about this?
