Doesn't surprise me one bit
The problem is that I'll bet dorm leadership (like resident advisers and so forth) probably felt he was beating her, rather than believing the truth.

I saw it happen!
When I lived in the dorms back in college.  I heard my neighbor fighting with her boyfriend.  Then I heard hitting and bodies hitting the walls.  I ran into the hallway to put a stop to him beating her.  That's when I saw it...SHE was beating HIM!  He refused to hit her back--even in self-defense.  When he saw me staring, he yelled, "Jenn, please help!  Please!"  So I ran to the phone and called for help.  As it turned out, he ended up being banned completely from the dorms (since he was visiting his gf and didn't actually live there).  I don't know what happened with the fact that she was hitting him and not vice versa.
