SETTLEMENT: UVA and Former Male Student Reach Agreement; Judge Dismisses Federal Case

A lawsuit from a former University of Virginia student who said he was denied his degree due to a pending Title IX sexual misconduct investigation has been dropped, according to court records. A U.S. district court judge dismissed the case on Sept. 11 after both sides reached an agreement, according to court documents.

The male student, John Doe, filed the lawsuit in June against members of UVa’s Board of Visitors, President Jim Ryan and two Title IX officials in June. He alleged that his constitutional rights have been violated during the university’s Title IX investigation.
