The University of Colorado has agreed to pay a suspended male student $15,000 and will not disclose without a waiver the details of his disciplinary record — which includes convictions under the campus judicial process in a 2013 sexual assault case.

The agreement was made with the CU junior known only as "John Doe," as he identified himself — with a judge's permission — when he sued the university last year under Title IX, the federal gender-equity law.

The university will not reveal his identity to the public and agreed to provide John Doe with a positive reference.

John Doe agreed to withdraw from the university.

Striking back on the war on men. Good to see victims of these new campus Star Chambers striking back using the real court system. The cherry on top is they citing Title IX the very same law the Zero administration is using to nudge colleges to adjudicate rape claims using Stalinesque Show Trials.

Bah. $15K is “go away” money.

Yup. This is a win for the education Stasi.

"Boulder attorney John Clune, who specializes in Title IX litigation, said the settlement was "extremely favorable" to the university because it resulted in a small payout and led to John Doe withdrawing from CU."

"He said the agreement may or may not help John Doe, who could still have trouble transferring to another school."
