Here are the facts. No one directed those colleges/universities to take those actions. The letter from the Department of Education was not a "mandate". It was an attempt to help schools understand the changes to Title IX and how to deal with accusations. In addition, their guidance says colleges may have to take steps to ensure victims are separated from their assailants in classes and dorms and investigate the accusation. It doesn't tell colleges how to punish the accused. Furthermore, it was The Supreme Court that established that sexual harassment constituted sex discrimination under Title IX. Not the Obama Administration.

No one directed them, so when the DOJ is sent to your school to investigate, it's just to educate the campus on title IX?
Here's one of those letters

This is fucked up , some ex GF gets pissed at you and you basically get thrown out of college
Given the numerous levels of review in the SCC process, some Title IX complaints have taken
many months to resolve. For example, one student filed a sexual assault complaint that took
over eleven months to resolve. For that complaint, the accused student availed himself of five
levels of review, the fifth level of review did not occur until six months after the complaint was
filed, and the remand proceedings took over four months to complete and resulted in a reversal.
Because of this reversal, the length of the process, and the possibility that she would continue to
see the accused student, the complainant seriously contemplated not returning to campus
