SETTLEMENT. Good News for John Doe! Miami University Settles.

February 21, 2019

A three-judge 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower court’s dismissal of several claims against Miami University and school officials, but found that the student presented enough factual allegations to support a “reasonable inference” of discrimination. The student, identified in court documents as “John Doe,” said most of Miami’s sexual misconduct cases are against males who are then ruled responsible without fair hearings. He was suspended for a 2014 consensual encounter with a female acquaintance.

Miami University has now settled with John Doe.
Background: 2018 John Doe’s win in Appellate Court before his case settled in 2019
