COURT RULING: Judge Says Sexism Played Role in JWU’s Wrongful Expulsion of John Doe
A judge declared in open court that sexism may have played a role in a university’s rush to judgment when adjudicating a sexual assault accusation. After oral arguments concerning a case alleging Johnson and Wales University violated a male student’s due process rights, Judge John McConnell said he could “find no reason at all why the result was Mr. Doe’s expulsion. The only inference [is] . . . gender played a role.” The case, now before a court system, is confirming the concerns of those who believe that universities exercise too much discretion when handling sexual misconduct allegations. Doe’s case highlights again that there may be issues with due process at universities that are willing to take matters that are meant to be handled by the criminal justice system into their own hands.
