CMV: The "preponderance of evidence" system in US college rape cases is backwards and unfair to men.

The preponderance of evidence system as it applies to American college sexual assault/rape is unfair to men.  The system states that whichever party is "more likely guilty based on evidence" then they are able to be officially convicted. A common way of explaining this is to say that preponderance of the evidence means that if even 51% of the evidence presented supports one party, that party gets the decision. In most of these cases there is little to no "evidence" of rape except for just the accusers word against the accused. Because "preponderance of the evidence means the side with 50.0001% of the evidence wins" is a lot scarier than “preponderance of the evidence means that the relevant body looks at all the evidence and rules for the party it thinks has the stronger case.” Men are at a significant disadvantage from the get go with the 51.1% standard by entering into a case where 100% of the needed evidence is given to the accuser just because they accused someone. Convince me that this is the right way to go about handling college rape cases.

Keep in mind these are not criminal trials. These are private organizations that are setting standards for conduct within their own community. It's perfectly reasonable for a group to have a standard such as this when determining whether or not to allow members to continue to be a part of the group.

In the case of a rape accusation, there really is no other reasonable standard. You've got two people, A and B. If, based on evidence, there is a 51% chance that A raped B, that means your group *probably* has a rapist, and that rapist is victimizing one of the members of your group. You wouldn't continue socializing with a friend who *probably* stole money from your wallet while you weren't looking, even if you didn't think you could ever prove it.
