Its an extension of Loco Parentis. They aren't children, they have some agency and responsibility hence the "court". But clearly society doesn't think they are quite ready to be left solely to the whims of the justice system. The court covers other offenses as well.
- greenyoda 8y agoIf a person of the same age who was not attending college and living with their parents were assaulted, would it be the parents' responsibility to bring the perpetrator to justice? No, it would be the job of the criminal justice system. So why should two cases be handled completely differently just because one happened to occur on a college campus?
