Shadow college system embraces accusation

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two weeks ago, a federal judge in Vermont blocked the expulsion of a Middlebury College student who had been accused of sexual misconduct and, without a hearing, was barred from enrolling for the fall semester.

"This case presents a unique situation where the plaintiff was exonerated of the charge of sexual assault by one U.S. institution following an investigation and hearing, allowed to continue his studies the next term, and subsequently determined by (Middlebury) following a second investigation of the same allegation to have committed sexual assault, after which he was expelled," wrote U.S. Judge J. Garvan Murtha.

The student, identified only as John Doe, was enrolled in a study-abroad program run by The School for International Training in November 2014 when he was accused by a non-Middlebury student of misconduct.

The school was informed of the allegations and accepted the result of the first inquiry, at least until it learned that the accuser intended to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education.

Then Middlebury launched a re-investigation and dropped the hammer on Doe.'
