EXPELLED Male Never Met w TitleIX & Decision Person Saw Case File Minutes Before Hearing
A former Ole Miss student is suing the University of Mississippi and the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning, alleging he was a victim of gender bias. ”The lawsuit asserts that the student was expelled from the university in March 2017 for having sex with a female who was under the influence of alcohol. The lawsuit says that the sex was consensual, and that they both were intoxicated, but the female student was not disciplined or expelled. The lawsuit alleges that Doe never met with the Title IX office and was never provided with specifics regarding the allegations. The Title IX office reported its findings to the office of conflict resolution and student conduct, and a University Judicial Council hearing was conducted. “When Doe arrived for his hearing, he learned that all panel members had not yet been selected,” the lawsuit says. “The hearing was delayed in order for the university to find a third panel member. Approximately 15 minutes before the hearing actually began, one of the panel members was presented with the case file for the first time.”
