I know of one lawsuit that was filed against Alaska PacificU. The one where a female accused an autistic male and the male ‘was denied disability accommodation, not allowed to present his evidence of innocence, and denied access to evidence gathered by Alaska Pacific. Then the male was denied a hearing, and Alaska Pacific decided he was guilty of sexual misconduct, abusive sexual contact and dating violence.’.. Can you just imagine being found guilty of sexual misconduct/dating violence without a hearing? Without telling your side? Without a chance to present evidence of innocence? Now imagine being autistic. The injustices on a variety of levels are extreme… He was expelled. Then he sued and claimed: ‘This injustice was the direct result of Alaska Pacific’s failure to (1) conduct an adequate investigation; (2) provide Plaintiff with due process as defined by Alaska Pacific’s own policies and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; (3) make reasonable modifications in Alaska Pacific’s policies, practices, or procedures regarding Plaintiff’s diagnosed and documented disability, namely autism, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and due to (4) Alaska Pacific’s excessive and unbalanced focus on the concerns and interests of the female complainant and the convenience of the University to the total exclusion of the rights and interests of the male Plaintiff. at Alaska Pacific University.’
Although I haven’t heard from John Doe or AlaskaPacificU, I am thinking that the above case mentioned is the case that is now settled.-Alice
