Judge Stops University from Expelling Football Player Who Failed to Prove He Wasn't a Rapist

Article here. Excerpt:

'Bryce Dixon, a football player who was expelled from the University of Southern California for sexual assault, should resume classes and might be able to rejoin the team, a judge has ruled.

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert H. O’Brien barred USC from carrying out the expulsion on the grounds that the university’s sexual assault adjudication process was miserably unfair to accused students.

Bryce’s attorney, Mark Hathaway, released the following statement:

“Judge O’Brien agreed with Bryce that USC’s Title IX sexual misconduct investigation was unfair and lacks due process.” said Mark Hathaway, attorney for Bryce Dixon. “USC’s investigator acts as police, prosecutor, and judge. There is no hearing, no right to counsel, no rules of evidence, no presumption of innocence, and no right to confront witnesses. Courts are beginning to recognize the injustice imposed on students.”'
