Judge sides with student punished by university after it exonerated him of rape claims

Electroverted · 2017-01-11T16:22:37+00:00

The appeal board stopped short of finding Doe responsible for sexual assault but imposed a “new sanction” of suspension through the spring 2020 term – with readmittance possible only if he completed a counseling program.

"So, you're not guilty or anything. But we're still going to sentence you to 5 years and force you to complete anti-rapist counseling."

Holy Christ...

The university was already under Title IX investigation by the Department of Education, and a student had gone public with her rape allegations after JMU issued a punishment of “expulsion after graduation” against her alleged attackers, who were never charged, Johnson said.

WTF is this story wedged in the bottom? A girl brings forth an accusation after the guy graduates, the DoE investigates based on that, so the school, what, pulled his diploma? Without any charges?

It's already very dubious for schools to be handling a serious crime like sexual assault in some kind of academic hearing, but after the accused graduates? Again, without any charges? How could that possibly make any sense?

college boards are the worst with these. I was suspended for a semester reduced from expulsion after fighting my case that was bizarre. The witness I brought was also the victim, so my school essentialy fought the victim and I trying to defend her

This school needs to be shut down. They have proven that they cannot follow a legal judgement and that is a danger to each and every student that attends this farce of an educational institute.

Thanks to our freedom fighting employees at the justice department for the title 9 anti male legislation, young men in every university can live happier, safer, more just lives.

Sounds like the judge got his back though. Which is refreshing.

The misrepresentation of when the voicemail occurred, goes to show again the lengths a woman will go to who falsely accuses a man of rape.

I'm sure it's somewhere in the agreement of the university that they can do whatever the fuck they want. This could include writing whatever they want on your record that would follow you if you went to a new university.

I also imagine the school is exempt from any legal action from the student because of these laws as well.

Meanwhile, what happened to the girl who falsely accused him? What were the ramifications of her lies that ruined this guy's life and has caused him much grief? What about his name that has been dragged through the mud over this? I mean, he should be able to take her and her family for all their worth over this... i mean this is some fucked up shit that starts out with a lie.

The school should be sued until it is forced to close. These institutions have no place in modern society.

ZERO TOLERANCE

Doe may have a property interest in his education, but I hope he chooses a better place to attain it.

Isn't their anything we can do like open a go find me page for the family anything I mean a innocent guy gets put in jail and not even a peaceful protest ? No twitter campaign or anything ? I swear to god we're screwed and no one cares

The university was already under Title IX investigation by the Department of Education, and a student had gone public with her rape allegations after JMU issued a punishment of “expulsion after graduation” against her alleged attackers, who were never charged, Johnson said.

Under JMU’s argument before Dillon, according to Johnson, “any student who wanted to conceal a wrongful finding of sexual assault could simply not produce his educational records. Judge Dillon rejected this suggestion as the false choice it was.”

this is some chilling shit for anyone in a college program today.

This is about building a home here!

Just in case anyone was curious, this is by the same reporter who was attacked by a professor while filming the protests on Mizzou's campus. Keep it up Kayla!!

This is madness

2017-01-12T10:16:12+00:00

tell me more about the "patriarchy". Way i see it 1st, false rape allegations if proven false should carry the same sentence as someone convicted of rape, with the lifelong sex offender status. 2nd, those administrators who levied punishment in spite of finding no evidence should be stripped of their title and position at said university and fined $500,000 a piece to be paid to the defendant.

CynixCS · 2017-01-12T14:25:26+00:00

...How is it even legal to punish somebody for something A GOD DAMN COURT found them innocent of?

That smells like lawsuit time.

The media is starting to die out. I think colleges might be next on the liberal extinction list.

In the defense of the Obama administration the 5th Amendment is one of the more boring ones. Who needs it?

God fucking dammit it started out not naming them and then did it anyway. Fuck these publishers.
