Default qunatum of proof in student tribunal at university

i need an opinion: I am a student at a university, and we have
a student disciplinary tribunal that charges and prosecutes students for
various trangressions of university rules eg plagiarism, theft, assualt etc.
However, although the university bears the burden to substantiate their
claim or allegations against the accused student, the quantum of proof for
the university is 'on a balance of probability' and not 'beyond a
reasonable doubt'. I would like to challenge this. In my opinion this
quantum of proof deeply favours the university, who are pressing the charges
to begin with, and severely prejudices an accused who may be found guilty
just because the scales tip against him even by one iota. Do i have a
challenge ahead of me, or there is substance in what i say? there is
absolutely no seperation of quantums of proof for whatever the nature of
proceedings is, whether charges are being pressed, or a procedure of a
'civil' nature is in play, it's all bound by 'on a balance of
probability'.
