SETTLEMENT: John Doe Was Set Up. Hamilton College Ignored His Evidence. Days Before Graduating He’s Expelled. Hamilton Settles.
On Sept. 21, 2018, a settlement was reached in the case of John Doe v. Hamilton College. In seeking to resolve the case without a trial, the parties entered into mediation. After a mediation session on June 28, 2018, the College and the plaintiff began to negotiate a settlement. That agreement was finalized in September, and the court dismissed the lawsuit on Sept. 21, 2018. The details of the settlement are confidential and remain under seal. Cases like Doe’s have cropped up across the country in recent years as male students have used Title IX protections to defend themselves against allegations of sexual assault. In September, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that universities must allow students accused of sexual misconduct to directly question their accusers.
