Court won’t overturn ruling that cleared former college student

Article here. Excerpt:

'A ruling that found Iowa State University administrators improperly removed a men’s basketball player from the team for alleged sexual misconduct will stand, an appeals court ruled Thursday.

The Iowa Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal filed by the university’s governing board, which argued the discipline against former Cyclone guard Bubu Palo was appropriate for his actions toward a female student in 2012.

The decision leaves in place last year’s ruling by District Judge Steven Oeth, who threw out the university’s sanctions against Palo and questioned the accuser’s credibility. The judge said ISU President Steven Leath had kicked Palo off the team and imposed other disciplinary sanctions despite no clear evidence that the sex was nonconsensual.'
