Case at George Mason:
"U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III wrote in a Feb. 25, 2016 opinion that university officials lead Doe to believe he was accused of sexual violence for one specific incident, while actually punishing him for other allegations — thus denying Doe a chance to adequately defend himself against multiple charges.
What is clear is that Doe must now be reinstated at GMU, a public university based in Fairfax, Virginia. But beyond that, it’s unknown what will come next."
Doe’s Title IX discrimination case was dismissed; his victory came from suing based on a violation of his right to due process.
To be sure, Doe sounds like a jerk, and maybe GMU was right to get him off campus. If they had let him know prior acts were being taken into the appeal consideration, the case probably never would have succeeded.
How about this quote:
"The university held a 10-hour hearing in September 2014 that focused on the Oct. 27 encounter, finding Doe not responsible on all counts. According to the judge’s opinion filing, Roe appealed, and Ericson assigned himself the case, despite his previous communications with Roe.
Ericson conceded that by the time he met with Doe during the appeal process, he’d already determined he would find him guilty."
Ericson is an assistant Dean.
