Student accused of sexual assault sues Cornell

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ballinger’s lawsuit, filed in Tompkins County Court, alleges he was suspended, barred from campus and denied the ability to continue his education before being found guilty of any misconduct.

The suit alleges Cornell University’s Policy 6.4 is in violation of Education Law 6444(5). The policy, passed in 2012, addresses the university's obligations under Title IX, in accordance with guidance from the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. However, the policy has been criticized for going overboard and creating a "process fraught with inequities," according to a report completed by the university's own Judicial Codes Counselor in 2015, obtained by The Cornell Daily Sun.'
