Calif. Judge issues stinging rebuke of UC DAVIS’ handling of TitleIX sexual misconduct case

October 19, 2015

In a September 22, 2015 hearing, Yolo County Superior Court Judge Timothy L. Fall granted a motion to stay the interim suspension imposed on a UC DAVIS student accused of sexual misconduct.

In issuing his ruling Judge Fall stated that “due process has completely been obliterated by the University’s failure to get this case adjudicated. Complete failure to do it.” Judge Fall also faulted UC DAVIS’s handling of the case for its impact on the alleged victim, stating, “… if anyone has failed the alleged victim in this case [it] is the University.”
