My University Throw Away All My Properties In My Room Before My Move-out Date

I'm a sophomore international student (Nicaragua) at my private university located in Orange County, CA. I was working as a Resident Assistant (RA) at my university but I got fired during the holidays due to personal reasons. Residential Life office forced me to move from my RA room to a smaller room on a different building.

I agreed through messages with the Residence Hall Coordinator (RHC) responsible of the building I was in, that my deadline for finishing moving to be Friday, January 3rd at 3 pm. However, when I went to my RA room in January 3rd 11 am to finish moving out, I found out that my room was emptied and completely cleaned. When I reach to the RHC she told me that she was sorry and due to a mistake my room was emptied on Monday, December 30th and that my stuff (probably 5k in monetary value + emotional value) was thrown away.

The RHC told me that the university facilities were ordered to clean my room and saw that were still stuff in there. Because the Residential Life Staff was on holiday vacation they didn't call anyone, and therefore I was not informed in any way of what was happening. Facilities assumed that my stuff was only things that I left behind and proceeded to throw all my possessions away.

Luckily I had my passport, SSN, and I-20 with me so I didn't find the need of filing a police report right away. However, the things that were thrown were valuable and I still find the need of file a police report but I have two main concerns.

1. Residential Life states in their Policies handbook: "The Office of Residential Life and [blank] University are not responsible for stolen, lost or damaged personal property. All residents are encouraged to properly insure such items of value via home owner’s or renter’s insurance policies. If a loss occurs, residents are to contact Residential Life to make a report of the incident." So I'm not sure if the university would be liable even though as described before was their fault throwing away my properties.

2. If a file a police report against the university I'm scared that they would expell me or take severe consequences that may affect my status as a student and consequently my F-1 visa.

I don't know what to do right now. I don't have anything personal against the university and is a place I really like. But I cannot simply accept all my stuff to get disposed like that. Can someone help with some legal advice please?
