Lawsuit: Uni Violated Title IX By Suspending Male Student Accused Of Rape

Article here. Excerpt:

'A male student is suing Indiana University for Title IX violations, alleging the school's investigation into rape accusations was biased against him because of his gender.

It's the latest in a series of lawsuits invoking the federal civil rights law on behalf of men accused of sexual assault.
...
John Doe filed the lawsuit on Nov. 27, the same day IU denied his appeal for the suspension.

In the complaint, John says the IU investigation was unbalanced: "The University sanctioned, tolerated, and endorsed procedures and policies which deprived John, a male student, of the rights and privileges of female students."

The complaint says the sexual misconduct investigation included witnesses on behalf of Jane’s character and sexual history, but investigators refused to include similar witnesses on John's behalf.

The complaint also says John could not have had a fair and impartial hearing because of public criticism of the lead investigator in his case. A couple of viral tweets accused the investigator of “letting a rapist off” in another case and a protest about that case in August drew nearly 100 people.

John wants to return to IU immediately, and is asking for a trial to determine monetary damages.

A spokesperson for IU says the university can’t comment on pending litigation.'
