LAWSUIT: Male Sues Emory Citing Bias & Deprived of Due Process in TitleIX Process

A former Emory law student has sued the University after it suspended him for engaging in non-consensual sexual intercourse with a former female student and later rejected his appeal. He is seeking re-admission and monetary compensation, alleging that Emory’s Office of Title IX “held biased assumptions that female students would not make false accusations of sexual assault against their fellow male students” and deprived him of due process. The former male law student denies that he sexually assaulted the female accuser.

CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT @ST. JOHN’s University. Good News For Male Student.

Legal action has been withdrawn by a onetime St. John’s University male student who alleged gender bias when he sued his school and an affiliated college, claiming they falsely found that he probably sexually assaulted a female student and then suspended him. The falsely accused male contended that the investigation was biased against him because he was prevented from fairly challenging her contentions of what happened that night and that she retreated from her initial allegations. The suit was dismissed under a mutual agreement on both sides, according to court filings that did not address how this conclusion came about. The male’s attorney Andrea Jepsen, said that “the parties came to a mutually satisfactory agreement.” Jepsen declined to field questions about how the dismissal came about or whether her client remains suspended.

INNOCENT. Yale’s Saifullah Khan is Innocent. Thank God for Due Process.

Saifullah Khan predicted four months ago he would beat his prosecution on rape charges. The ex-Yale University student was right- but he’d probably have a different verdict if his accuser had chosen a Title IX proceeding instead of one where Khan could have gone to prison.  It took less than four hours for six jurors to acquit Khan on all four counts “sexual assault in the first, second, third or fourth degrees.”  Juror Diane Urbana said “There was sufficient doubt on every charge.”…“We’re grateful to six courageous jurors who were able to understand that campus life isn’t the real world- kids experiment with identity and sexuality. When an experiment goes awry, it’s not a crime.”  Norm Pattis, Mr. Kahn’s attorney.

CATHERINE LHAMON a Shameless TitleIX Bureaucrat Poses as a Due Process Supporter

CATHERINE LHAMON a Shameless TitleIX Bureaucrat Poses as a Due Process Supporter

We live in an era of political shamelessness. But Catherine Lhamon positioning herself as someone who demanded fair treatment of accused students is nonetheless remarkable. During her nearly four years running Barack Obama’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Lhamon was nothing if not consistent. She sought to use the power of her office- chiefly by threatening to withhold federal funds- to force universities to change their campus sexual assault policies. Every substantive change demanded by the Obama administration made it more likely an accused student would be found guilty. So it’s been rather startling in recent days to see Lhamon claim that defending the fair treatment of accused students was a cardinal principle of her OCR tenure.

NO PROOF. NO Charges. Innocent UNC BballPlayer Kicked Out of Dream College

 The attorney for suspended North Carolina guard Jalek Felton says the freshman has withdrawn from school and won’t return to the Tar Heels. “It’s disturbing. Essentially they kicked him out without giving him his rights” said Kerry Sutton, Felton’s attorney. Felton faces no criminal charges. He has not been arrested. He has missed five weeks of classes. “We have a problem with how he has been treated” Sutton said. “And this is far from over. He had UNC’s back when they were up against the wall with the NCAA. He was the only five-star recruit that would even talk to them. UNC in a heartbeat turned their back on him. And that broke his spirit. He doesn’t want to stay here anymore.”

RULING: TITLE IX Charges Against LU Dropped. $100M Defamation Lawsuits Remain

Title IX claims against Liberty University have been dropped, but defamation charges remain in individual lawsuits brought by three former football players. A federal judge in Lynchburg allowed former LU football player Cameron Jackson’s defamation and Title IX cases against LU, Sarah Browning, and Len Stevens to move forward. Falsely accused Mr. Jackson claims that a press release sent out by Liberty University, saying they were investigating him for “reports of sexual assault,” violated his Title IX rights. The Lynchburg Commonwealth’s Attorney never charged Jackson because there was “insufficient evidence.”

WORST COLLEGES for Accused Males. Here’s FIRE’s Spotlight on Due Process

WORST COLLEGES for Accused Males. Here’s FIRE’s Spotlight on Due Process

These colleges are among the worst offenders when it comes to due process: Boston College, Caltech, Case Western, Dartmouth, NYU, Penn State, UW-Madison. If you care about your son pay his tuition elsewhere. You have no idea the amount of harm that is perpetrated upon your son, until he is falsely accused, and your son is denied due process rights.

FIRE’s recent groundbreaking Spotlight on Due Process report found that the overwhelming majority of our nation’s top universities fail to provide students even the most basic elements of due process. FIRE bought advertisements in eight campus newspapers detailing how policies there fail to provide due process to students accused of both general misconduct and sexual misconduct.  A staggering 74 percent don’t even expressly presume students innocent until proven guilty.

JAMES MADISON Ordered to Pay $849,000 for it’s Title IX Zealotry

JAMES MADISON Ordered to Pay $849,000 for it’s Title IX Zealotry

From 2011 to the end of the Obama administration, OCR threatened colleges with losing millions of their federal funding if procedures weren’t implemented to maximize the number of successful Title IX accuser complaints. Colleges were expected to use pro-accuser policies, and deny due process to those accused.  When James Madison University irrationally punished John Doe, he filed suit against JMU, arguing that it had failed to live up to its self-declared obligation to provide all students with fair and equitable procedures when accused.  Because JMU brazenly bent over backwards to accommodate Jane Roe, Judge Dillon refused to dismiss the procedural due process case against JMU and followed up with an order that John Doe be reinstated and his record as a sexual predator be expunged. But that left the matter of legal costs unresolved. Judge Dillon turned that over to U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Hoppe, who ruled on January 31, 2018 that JMU must pay over $849,000 in legal expenses Doe incurred.
