Your second-to-last point (along with this coming down on the Friday of Dead Week, when no Daily will be out for a few weeks) is I think why this is happening as it is. I've talked with a Title IX lawyer, and her opinion was that essentially highly visible actions like this are likely at least in part an effort to immunize themselves against more serious charges and accusations. "See, we have policies to prevent this stuff! And look, we punished this organization that transgressed!" Of course, the band itself had policies against a lot of this stuff, and has suspended/exiled/removed from events individuals who have violated them (here, I'm speaking of mostly alcohol-related issues).
Maybe the Title IX office suffers from a lack of institutional control?
