Your not wrong. This is the actual text of Title IX:

The law does not require schools to make specific types of investigations into sexual assault allegations, or even that they be investigated at all. The school simply has to treat everyone equally, which could mean that they don't do anything at all because there are school not a police agency.

Honestly, the smartest way to deal with this is for universities to have a policy that that all crimes are referred to law enforcement, the university takes no opinion on the guilt or innocence of accused people, and stays out of the investigation entirely, and any university discipline will take place only after conviction in a court of law.
Colleges don't need to have their own "trials" at all to deal with civil or criminal offenses of any kind.
If an offense was committed, there are perfectly good civil and criminal courts set up for this very purpose.
