>At an institution falling under Title IX a dorm is not entirely analogous to an apartment. There are in fact "special rules" that apply I believe the point is to question whether they should fall under the jurisdiction of Title IX. IMO, if college is about entering adulthood, then we should teach and expect these people to use the same systems that adults outside of college use for dealing with legal interpersonal matters.

You are on point. I just want to point out though, I don't think college is about entering adulthood, it just so happens to be one of the first things adults tend to do with their new found freedom. Some chose to enter the work force, others join the army, some might decide to go back home and live in their parents basement. But at the end of the day they are still adults and have to behave like one -- this goes for the for both predators and victims of said harassment. College is for adults, and it is high time we start treating people who go to college like adults and expect of them to act like so.

  Should students be required to turn 18 before enrolling at college then?

    That is a side topic that really has nothing to do with this. But minros are also expected to follow the laws as well. I think if you find your self in college young enough to be of question you probably are also capable of following the laws. Kroger is not reposnable for a minor misbehaving, no should any other entity beyond the minors guardian. I hold primary school speical because it is mandated on both ends -- to send your child -- and for them to receive your child -- so some requirement of provideing extra safety can be had. College on the other hand is optional, and if one does not feel safe they simply can not go. That sounds harsh but "feeling safe" is not a right and is problematic because it is so subjective.
