There’s now a new wrinkle when it comes to schools investigating accusations against students: The possibility that “evidence” has been manufactured. Schools were already ill-equipped to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct, but now students may be faced with the possibility that their accuser is willing to forge evidence and the school will not be able to determine its authenticity.

In New Hampshire, 20-year-old Olivia LeClerc told police she was drugged at an off-campus fraternity party at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). She even presented them with a drug test showing she had benzodiazepines (Xanax) in her system, according to a report from the New Hampshire Union Leader. She said she had been drugged at a Kappa Sigma social during the last week of February.
