STUDENT Who Initiated TIX Witch Hunt Against Kipnis- Sues Her
Laura Kipnis, the Northwestern University professor who faced down a Title IX investigation after writing an essay about sexual relationships between students and professors, is now being sued for defamation. The lawsuit contends that Kipnis’s book misrepresents ‘Jane Doe’ as “litigious.” But how is that a misrepresentation? Doe has used both the Title IX process, and a lawsuit, to adjudicate her dispute with Kipnis…There’s a sense in which this lawsuit actually proves the central ideas of Kipnis’s book – that sexual paranoia pervades the modern university campus, where messy relationships are treated like assault, women are presumed to lack agency when it comes to consent, and tribunals are seen as the solution to every dispute.
