As the result of a 2011 mandate from the Dept. of Education, all colleges are now required to have campus tribunals to handle allegations of sexual assault. But they've done such a horrible job, they are now referred to as "Kangaroo Courts." 

These committees often use "trauma-informed" concepts.

With apologies to real kangaroos, here's what one judge had to say about the University of Pennsylvania's Kangaroo Court:

Campus officials "were trained with, among other materials, a document called “Sexual Misconduct Complaint: 17 Tips for Student Discipline Adjudicators” (“17 Tips”). That document

• warns against victim blaming;
• advises of the potential for profound, long-lasting, psychological injury to victims;
• explains that major trauma to victims may result in fragmented recall, which may result in victims “recount[ing] a sexual assault somewhat differently from one retelling to the next”;
• warns that a victim’s “flat affect [at a hearing] does not, by itself, show that no assault occurred”; and
• cites studies suggesting that false accusations of rape are not common.

"At the same time, the document advises that the alleged perpetrator may have many “apparent positive attributes such as talent, charm, and maturity” but that these attributes “are generally irrelevant to whether the respondent engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity.” It also warns that a “typical rapist operates within ordinary social conventions to identify and groom victims” and states that “strategically isolating potential victims[] can show the premeditation” commonly exhibited by serial offenders . . ."

No surprise, the judge concluded, "the Complaint plausibly alleges that the investigators were not “appropriately trained as investigators in handling sexual violence cases.”
