RULING: Court Blocks Ohio State from Expelling Female Student for Disputed Group Sex
Ohio State University has made Title IX history: It’s apparently the first school on the losing end of a due-process challenge by an accused female student. U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus blocked the public university from expelling a female student accused of fondling and kissing a drunk student and, later, having a nonconsensual threesome. Citing binding precedent from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last fall, the judge said that Ohio State had unconstitutionally deprived “Jane Roe” of her right to “cross-examine adverse witnesses” in a proceeding that hinged on credibility.
