Brandeis University recently punished a male student they found responsible of sexual assault with sensitivity training.

According to documents shared with the Huffington Post, the victim, also a male student, accused the school of dolling out no more than "a slap on the wrist." A rising senior at Brandeis, Joseph Babeu said he was mostly kept in the dark during the school's six-month investigation.

He reported the sexual assault complaint in Jan. and, according to the documents, accused his assailant of physical and sexual assault, as well as harassment and privacy invasion. The school sent the accuser a letter informing the assailant was found responsible on all charges, but essentially received a warning and mandated sensitivity training.

"Honestly, I thought it was a joke," Babeu told the HP. "Did they send me the wrong letter? I read the charges and almost nothing was happening - just a slap on the wrist."

The rising senior also said his attacker filed a report in retaliation, accusing Babeu of charges that the school eventually dismissed. However, Babeu was reportedly barred from the dining hall and was forced to step down from his leadership position at a student organization, the HP learned.

Babeu then got a no-contact order against the assailant, which was broken and reprimanded with a warning. Babeu called the experience as a whole "probably the worst experience of my entire life and one of the hardest things I've ever done."

Brandeis spokeswoman Ellen de Graffenreid could not discuss details of the case, but told the HP she believed some of the information Babeu provided was flawed.

"All of the timing in terms of the projected length of an investigation is listed as our goal, and is often optimistic in very complex cases," de Graffenreid said. "We share our students' concerns about the length of these investigations, but must be observant of the rights of all parties and thorough in our investigative efforts. The parties involved are updated at regular intervals during the process."
