Wrongfully Expelled Student Hauls Elite College Into Court
Forbes ^ | April 9, 2017 | George Leef

Posted on 04/09/2017 8:03:25 AM PDT by reaganaut1

The Obama administration’s disdain for the rule of law continues to reverberate. One way is its Title IX madness, which has caught numerous colleges and universities in its web. Among them is Amherst College, which now faces a lawsuit brought by a student who makes a compelling case that he was wrongfully expelled.

The facts revolve around a drunken hookup between two students and the woman’s subsequent efforts at covering up her more than willing participation by blaming the male student and accusing him of assault. Amherst’s administration was equally complicit, however, pronouncing the man guilty on flimsy and incomplete evidence, then refusing to reconsider once evidence that the woman had fabricated her story came to light.

And the dark force driving the school to make an example of the student was the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

On the night of February 4-5, 2012, John Doe (as he is called in the court documents) was so drunk that he “blacked out” and couldn’t remember much about the night, including even his interaction with Sandra Jones (again a pseudonym). The two were making out in a dormitory common area when another student said that they ought to go somewhere private. Jones led Doe to her room, where she performed oral sex on him. Her room was available because her roommate—Doe’s girlfriend—was away.

Doe thought little more about that drunken night with Jones until he was dumbfounded to receive a notice from Amherst in December of 2013 that he had been charged with rape. He would have to appear at a hearing in ten days.

For these suits to be effective, they have to name as individuals the people who actually made the definitive decision to violate the civil rights of the individual. When individual administrators start accumulating legalcosts and damages, their behavior will change dramatically.

Any male student in ANY of America’s colleges should recognize that he is in a hostile Feminazi bureaucratic and legal environment that will hang him even if he does nothing wrong. Safest approach is to have no intimate or sexual contacts at all. Or else, have a written consent form .... but even that would probably be inadequate protection when these Feminazis go to work on him.

Also, don’t talk with or hang out with female students, since you never know how something you say may be twisted or misconstrued as “harassment” or “insensitive”....

For those unfamiliar with Amherst College it's in Massachusetts.Even assuming this girl's accusation is unfounded the guy involved in this case should be aware that there's not a DA in this filthy state...my state...that wouldn't love to prosecute him given half a chance.And that's regardless of how flimsy the evidence against him might be.

That part of the state (it's called "Happy Valley" by a local Boston talk host) is about as Marxist as you'll find here and,IMO,if he was prosecuted there's a real chance he'd be convicted...regardless of how flimsy the evidence.

Just sayin'....

Why do all these schools tolerate under age drinking and those adults who provide them with booze? I guess they are in it for the money and not education.

The real agenda:

1. All hetero sex is rape
2. All gay sex is legit

Any questions?

"Happy Valley" is the locals name for "Pioneer Valley".

BTW, I'm pretty sure that the Fed judge that backed Amherst/female student (because the female student "felt" violated...) was that numbnutt judge that first blocked Trump's EO travel ban.

The one in Seattle, or was it Portland, OR?

“Safest approach is to have no intimate or sexual contacts at all.”

That doesn’t even work any more. Simply telling a girl no can cause her to manufacture a rape complaint. Example “Mattress Girl” aka Emma Sulkowicz.

And frat houses have been charged with gang rape accusations that turned out to be complete fabrications. Example Jackie Coakley’s fake UVA Frat rape charge.

This may be the best birth control of all. :-)

Her room was available because her roommate—Doe’s girlfriend—was away.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
ENTIRE story right there..

JDoes GF came home, found something of Does in HER shared room, confronts roommate, roommate claims Doe looking for GF, assaulted her instead.

Hence a ‘bond’ was formed between the 2 feminazis and from there forward, J DOE never stood a chance EVEN if a tape showed she ‘attacked’ him, the evil man was going down (well, taking a fall)

Would not surprise me. You’ll notices that Libs are not screaming about how everything is “for the kids” as much as they used to.

Jones led Doe to her room, where she performed oral sex on him. Her room was available because her roommate—Doe’s girlfriend—was away.

Oooops!

At least she wasn't killed in a kiln explosion.

If it had been an Syrian foreign exchange student — or better yet, a Syrian “refugee” — and the crime had been actual forceable rape in broad daylight in front of multiple witness... there never would have been any charges filed at all. And if there were, they would have been instantly dismissed on the grounds of “culture”.

This same type scenario happened at a college in Illinois this year. The boy was accused by the college, kicked out of his dorm. I was told he was sleeping on bus stop bench awaiting his school appearance. The students who knew the pair said it was a consensual encounter, but when she claimed rape, she was believed. College boys beware. This girl was drunk and had remorse and claimed rape.
