Lawsuits: University sexual misconduct policies slanted in favor of women

Article here. Excerpt:

'A University of Cincinnati senior football player who was suspended over what he says was a false sexual misconduct allegation filed a lawsuit against the school on Wednesday over its handling of the case.

This is the latest in several lawsuits filed by students against Ohio colleges and universities this year claiming that strict sexual misconduct policies are slanted in favor of female accusers. They claim the U.S. Department of Education’s crackdown on campus sexual assaults has forced schools to create unfair policies or risk losing federal funding.

“No student who has been accused of serious sexual misconduct at UC has ever been exonerated. You can’t win,” said Joshua Engel, an attorney for the football player, who is identified as John Doe in the lawsuit.

Engel is asking U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black to lift the suspension and football ban while the case moves through the court system. A hearing on the temporary restraining order will likely take place this week.'
