Story here. Excerpt:

'An Augustana University student accused of rape has filed a lawsuit against the school claiming it is violating his rights by moving to expel him before he has a chance to defend himself in court.

The federal lawsuit filed last week by Koh Evan Tsuruta calls for the university to suspend its disciplinary hearing until his criminal case is resolved.

An Augustana official said the university’s action follows federal guidelines, and that Tsuruta has no legal grounds to force it to delay its hearing while his criminal case is pending.'
