GOOD NEWS! Yale Reaches Settlement with Expelled Male Student
Yale has settled a lawsuit filed by a former student accusing the University of unfairly expelling him over false sexual assault allegations in 2012. Court documents show that a Hartford judge approved the settlement last week. Gary Kurtz, one of John Doe’s lawyers explained that settlements can entail apologies, money or anything else that the parties believe is important to their claims. Kurtz explained that he was “reluctant” to discuss specific terms of the agreement and that he rarely discusses the details of his clients’ settlements. But he added that Doe graduated from another university after his expulsion from Yale and therefore did not need to be readmitted to Yale.
