Expelled Student Says He Will Sue Yale Over Dismissal

Story here. Excerpt:

'The lawyer for a Yale student expelled for sexual misconduct said he plans to sue the university.

Jack Montague, captain of the basketball team, was dismissed from Yale for unspecified reasons. The university has declined to comment and Montague has not been charged with a crime. Yale and New Haven police are not investigating.

"We strongly believe that the decision to expel Jack Montague was wrong, unfairly determined, arbitrary, and excessive by any rational measure,'' said Max Stern, lawyer for Montague, in a statement emailed to media Monday morning. "Yale has been oblivious to the catastrophic and irreparable damage resulting from these allegations and determinations."

"The expulsion not only deprives Jack of the degree which he was only three months short of earning, but has simultaneously destroyed both his educational and basketball careers," Stern said.'
