DUE Process Legal Update: Complaints and Rulings
Complaints and Rulings for Drake University, Washington State University and University of Cincinnati…A complaint filed last week against Drake University in Iowa includes an intriguing argument. Like most such suits against private universities, it claims that Drake breached its contract with the student-plaintiff and discriminated against him on the basis of sex in violation of Title IX. But in addition, it argues that the university was-by virtue of coercive federal pressure-a state actor at the time of the incident, and as such, deprived the plaintiff of his constitutional due process rights.
