JUDGE Sides w Accused Black Male. Says Brown was Unfair/Discriminatory & Favored White Girl’s Accusation
A Brown University student suspended for alleged sexual misconduct has won an important victory. His lawsuit against the university, which makes some of the most eye-popping claims of unfair treatment has survived a motion to dismiss. Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, ruled that the student, a black male athlete, aka: John Doe, had presented evidence that Brown officials engaged in an “ongoing, racially discriminatory pattern” of behaviors that violated John’s rights, wrecked his freshman and sophomore years, caused his grades to plummet, and may have even contributed to his suicide attempt. This case is especially noteworthy because of John’s contention that he was essentially presumed guilty because of his race. John is black and his accuser, “Jane Doe,” is a white woman. Moreover, Jane was the initiator, at least according to the allegations contained in the judge’s decision. John even complained about Jane’s behavior—to no avail, he says, because Brown was only interested in Jane’s complaint.
