If there's enough evidence they broke a student code, then they broke the student code an shouldn't be back. If there's not evidence to provide doubt, then don't take action at all.
Seems like the whole situation was butchered almost as badly as Miami's coaching search.
SLU has a strong history of not having the balls to take care of a problem. They were presented with a problem in which they probably realized no code was broken... but in an effort to keep away the media and get people to shut up, they gave the players a firm slap on the wrist.
I agree, the situation should have ended with 1 of 2 options: kicked out, or nothing at all.
Apparently Kwamain, the one who lied to the police and is the only one to have sex with the girl, is allowed to play, but Reed, the one who told the truth and did not have sex with her, is only allowed back at school but not allowed to play. Word is Kwamain's dad made a big deal out of the situation to SLU... and SLU does what it does best: appease those who [expletive] the loudest.

Actually, what I read is that Reed had a few problems prior to this one and that he has a few more hoops to jump through to get reinstated to the team.
Majerus recommending that Kwamain redshirt though I doubt he will. I assume he is suggesting the same for Reed though the article does not address that. I know Reed is a potential #1 but I wonder if another year under Rick might help his long term prospects so that he doesn't wash out in 2 years.

a friend and I were discussing this
according to him, Majerus is very good at convincing his recruits to stay a full 4 years and those are the type of guys he recruits... but if I got slighted the way Reed did, I'd give SLU a middle finger and take the 1st pro contract that's handed to me

Except Reed might not be that vengeful nor that stupid since he re-enrolled. Clearly he and his father must be thinking of his future which is a really good idea.

good for him then
I've been [expletive] by SLU in the past on conduct allegations and have friends who were as well but hurt much more by SLU's actions. All I know is I'll never do that [expletive] school a favor.
