LAWSUIT: Expulsion For False Allegation Was Discriminatory

February 10, 2017

A former Allegheny College student has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school, claiming he was unfairly expelled after a sexual assault allegation was levied against him in 2014. “The college has punished ‘John Doe’ with its most severe sanction -expulsion and a permanent record of the alleged violation -with no credible evidence and as a result of a process that contains virtually no procedural safeguards for accused students and is permeated with gender bias,” the suit states.
