I'm going to need to know the names and addresses of these attorneys/lobbyists that are calling you, as well as present and past members of the Board of Regents. I went to three home games last year, I deserve to know these things.

Wow, this is just sad.
I am really stuck here; Is this tool lying, or does he have schizophrenia and actually believes people are calling him?

I think we could handle getting rid of Sally.
She's been the UI version of Jan Brewer, just not as.....well, fugly as the haggard Old Nymph of the Desert.
Shay Laren would make a fine UI PreZ.

Well, I'm definitely on the right.....slightly to the right of Westside Baptist Church and here to tell you. MOVE ON!
It does NO ONE any good to pick scabs. And leave Sally Mason alone.....My gosh....the jealousy of some people is really disturbing

Here's the thing...
it's not a matter of the university "wanting to keep sensitive issues" under wraps, it's that they are required to. Much as your employer is not allowed to share your personnel file with anyone who asks for it.
As for how the claims were handled. We know that the police investigated. We know that the country attorney decided not to press charges (for any number of reasons). This type of thing goes on all the time. Whatever occurred, occurred off-campus and not on University premises. It was investigated by the Iowa City PD.
My guess is that Mr. Coker was caught up in a combination of the university's poor handling of Everson/Satterfied (and the subsequent freeze in pay for President Mason) and publicity of the PSU situation, which resulted in him being suspended for something where no charges were ever filed. The UI administration was going to err on the side of "doing something," whatever that means, and Coker's situation was a result of that. I have no knowledge of his innocence or guilt in the incident, just not surprising that he decided to move on. He was always going to have a cloud hanging over him, for something HE WAS NEVER CHARGED WITH. Not charged and later plead down, or whatever. But never charged.

Re: Here's the thing...
Summarized very well but still a 'big hole' as to whether the administration is handling these situations in a 'fair manner'. How do we know the administration is not also taking arbitrary measures against individuals?

I agree with Spider.
We know this: Marcus Coker was suspended for violating the schools code of conduct. I would like to know the process by which this was established. Was there an investigation? If so, who handled this investigation and what was their general approach? Who was the final decision-maker that a suspension was warranted?
These are all process oriented questions. They are different from giving the details of what happened. Giving an account of the process would not violate any student's privacy.
The university's processes should be available to the public if the public would like to know them. When the process is secret, there is room for injustice.

And if anyone feels they were the victim of unjust disciplinary
action they have recourse through the process.
The fact is you do not have the right to know squat about
what happened in this situation. You were not involved in
any way.
In polite society we call this voyeurism but my granny just called it being nosy.

The processes aren't secret. Ask them for a copy of the protocols and SOP's and they are yours.
You're trying to personalize it to the Coker incident whether you're acknowledging that or not and that isn't information you need access to.
No one involved here is decrying the system, so don't try to pain the broad stroke of picture of this being for the good of all when you're simply trying to get tabloid dirt for personal satisfaction.

That's what you get for getting your information from Fox News. Who are these people that are calling you? More importantly, why the hell would they be calling you about it? It's between the University, Coker, the "victim", and the police. It's none of your damn business. If Coker feels like he was seriously mistreated then he will likely talk about it in due time. The only other way we will find out anything is if the "victim" decided to talk and clearly that isn't going to happen. It isn't the University's responsibility to let idiots like you know what happened between two students... even if one of those students is a highly visible football player. Get a grip Rick Perry.
