Student sues college after expulsion for sexual misconduct

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Georgia Tech student expelled in April after a sexual misconduct investigation has filed a lawsuit alleging that the review was unfair and violated his rights.

The lawsuit said the university's Office of Student Integrity found the student, identified as "John Doe" in the suit, responsible for non-consensual sexual and intercourse and coercion against a female student at an October 2013 event where they had been drinking. Doe received little information about witnesses' statements and couldn't defend himself, the lawsuit said.

The male student wants a judge to allow him to take spring classes and complete his degree on Georgia Tech's Atlanta campus while the suit is argued. The suit seeks unspecified punitive and compensatory damages and a jury trial.

The suit names the school's president, the dean of students and Director of the Office of Student Integrity Peter Paquette as defendants along with a board that oversees public colleges in Georgia.'
