Maybe the problem is the oxy alert system in general... Few things lower moral and cause panic then people getting stabbed and raped. The system seems too easy to misuse... And there is misuse... Hofstra U.

Why is your characterization of "Disinclined to believe students who report sexual assault" not a vicious unsupported lie?

"disinclined to believe students who report sexual assault."

You really think he said that?

When I get called for jury duty, I'm asked If I'm inclined to give MORE weight to something a cop claims or LESS weight to something a cop says. Either answer is WRONG. I need to, as a juror, treat a cops word as as prone to lying or truthfulness as anyone else.

What's wrong with that standard? It CAN be hard to "sort through conflicting accounts in order to provide a clear narrative of what took place." when a cop says a defendant x did Y and otherwise. 

And why ignore his other 2 reasons, as some commenters pointed out?

I hope the complaint fails spectacularly. 

The study that link on risk factors was taken from also says

"The risk of being sexually victimized was increased by a number of factors. In our  analyses, four factors, however, had the most consistent, statistically significant  effect across the various types of sexual victimization: (1) frequently drinking  enough alcohol to get drunk; (2) being unmarried; (3) having been a victim of a  sexual assault before the current school year began; and (4) for on-campus  victimization, living on campus."

"No longer confident that our President and his administration will agree to implement the best practices for reporting and adjudicating sexual assault, "

But you said Occidental, if they implemented such, would be BETTER than typical other schools. So if these "practices" are really "best", who is practicing them already? "the approach we find on essentially all college campuses today" is not this approach. So where is it the approach?

"best practices" usually means a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark.

So where has this benchmark of alerts for campus sexual assault been implemented, and what have the results been? Why call this "best practices"

Yes! Thank you for this, Dr. Wade.

I never like to let things lie, so i've done some additional research 

I discovered that NCHERM, the National Center for Higher Education Risk 
Management advises many colleges on their legal risk assessments under the Clery act. There's even a 'quiz' or FAQ to handle a bunch of corner cases or uncertainties.

I'll grant that the quiz, written in 2006 by Brett A. Sokolow   advises in one item that the right answer to an alter about a 'date rape' might be 1) you don't have to or 2) it could be a good idea because "IN TWO CLERY ACT INVESTIGATIONS, THE DEPARTMENT HAS TAKEN ISSUE WITH THE FAILURE OF THE INSTITUTION TO MAKE A TIMELY WARNING ABOUT DATE RAPE SITUATIONS, TO “GENERALLY HEIGHTEN AWARENESS AND PROMOTE SAFETY.” THE ONLY LIMIT ON THIS IS WHEN MAKING A WARNING WOULD JEOPARDIZE  THE VICTIM’S CONFIDENTIALITY."

which is interesting. BUT

I see Brett A. Sokolow actually weighed in on the Occidental case at the chronicle

http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/jp/occidental-college-defends-response-to-reported-sexual-assault

he says there

1.  Off-campus incidents can be a continuing threat to the campus, such that a timely warning is necessary.  However, on campus incidents are much more likely to evidence an on-campus continuing threat.  2.  Readers should not assume that since that alleged offender and the alleged victim knew each other that there is no continuing threat.  Known offenders who are predatory can be a continuing threat that is no less severe than a stranger attack.  Stranger danger myths feed erroneous beliefs that known offenders are lesser offenders, or are less dangerous.  Data shows they are not.3.  Where the offender is known, only a report that includes his or her identifying information would likely be adequate to prevent the threat;  To release personally identifiable information at this stage could thwart the investigation and/or lead to the (inappropriate) identification of the victim.  4. In the immediate aftermath of a report, a timely warning may not be accurate until some investigation is conducted.  Once it is, a continuing threat may or may not be confirmed.  A rush to report does not serve the need to first confirm the source, nature and extent of a threat.

these comments both support in some degree Wade's point, but also that of the administration. It hardly seems clear cut though, and it certainly seems like the guy ought to actually know what a "best practice" is here.
