Story here. Excerpt:

'A Columbia University student sued the school Thursday, saying it failed to protect him against harassment when a female student went public with claims he raped her after school and law enforcement authorities rejected her case.

The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court by Paul Nungesser, a German citizen who said onetime friend Emma Sulkowicz has repeatedly and publicly called him a “serial rapist,” resulting in national and international media attention.

Defendants include the school, its board of trustees, President Lee C. Bollinger and Professor Jon Kessler. The lawsuit sought unspecified damages.

“Columbia University’s effective sponsorship of the gender-based harassment and defamation of Paul resulted in an intimidating, hostile, demeaning... learning and living environment,” the lawsuit said.'

Hell, yes. Columbia is now a no-fly zone for prospective male students. Don't do it, guys. Your very own Nutty Mattress Girl awaits should you roll the dice and *dare* have sex with a Columbia gal... or even not. All that's req'd is an accusation.

I will continue to suggest men-only colleges to prospective male collegiates until this insanity passed -- but not before.

I'm glad he is suing and I hope he wins.
