NIGHTMARE FOR JOHN DOE @James MadisonU. Judge Tells JMU Pay Him $850,000K

February 22, 2018

It may finally be payback time for one student at James Madison University. In a case involving a dubious sexual-assault claim and a proceeding reminiscent of Franz Kafka’s The Trial, “John Doe,” the accused male student, received a five-year suspension from the university. A court later reinstated him. And now the university may be required to pay Doe a cool $849,231.25 to cover his legal costs — if the judge on the case accepts the recommendation of a federal magistrate…But unless JMU changes its procedures and its attitude, any parents thinking about sending their kids to the university should think twice. Otherwise, they might find themselves in the same nightmare that John Doe did.
