POMONA: JUDGE FORCES College that Railroaded Accused Student to Pay his Attorney’s Fees

March 20, 2018

John Doe’s lawyers want Pomona College to pony up a quarter-million dollars – “at least” – for their services fending off a botched Title IX proceeding against their pseudonymous client. A trial judge who oversaw the student’s lawsuit against the elite Southern California school for nearly two years agrees that Doe deserves attorney’s fees from Pomona. Exactly what he’ll get remains up in the air, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mary Strobel’s “tentative decision” March 5 makes one thing clear: Title IX proceedings that are not fair to accused students violate “the public interest.”
