LAWSUIT: Male Sues Ole Miss. Claims he’s a Victim of Gender Bias & a False Allegation
A former Ole Miss student has filed a federal lawsuit against the university and the state College Board alleging he was a victim of gender discrimination from his long-term suspension for what he calls a false sexual misconduct allegation. Doe’s lawsuit said he was disciplined for having sex with the female while she was under the influence of alcohol, but she wasn’t disciplined for having sex with him while he was under the influence of alcohol. His lawsuit seeks a jury trial for damages as well as an injunction to prevent the university from including the discipline in his school records. “The determination issued by the defendants against Doe did not take into consideration the substantial weight of the evidence available,” the lawsuit says. “The actions of the defendants exhibited a gender bias against males and an underlying motive to protect the university’s reputation and financial status.”
