SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 11 – John Doe sued
Columbia University for being
denied his diploma after
sexual abuse allegations by
four Jane Does - and a hacking
charge.
On November
13 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
live tweeted it:
Now in "Doe v.
Columbia University" a
conference. Male plaintiff's
lawyer says his client was
enticed into sex with Jane Doe
1 who then says she said
"stop." Columbia's lawyer says
there is no way he'll get a
diploma. Male
plaintiff's lawyer: "Jane Doe
4 didn't have an independent
memory of it..."
Inner City Press
has gone to docket in PACER -
does not have permission to
view complaint. But from memo
of law: "This Title IX
discrimination suit is by a
male student at
Columbia...
"Plaintiff was
barred from campus after he
filed counter-complaint of
female sexual misconduct, was
expelled on the eve of
graduation for sexual
misconduct he did not commit"
(he says) "Jane Doe 1 by her
own account intended to hook
up with Plaintiff"
Male plaintiff's
lawyer "takes umbrage" at
being personally attacked,
"when I cited a decision by a
now sitting US Supreme Court
Justice" (Amy Coney Barrett,
in Purdue case)
On December 11,
Columbia filed a motion to
dismiss and accompanying
Memorandum of Law. It says
Plaintiff conflated Columbia
with "Facebook posts made by
Sexual Violence Reponse, a
division of Columbia Health
that supports victims of
sexual violence...social media
posts addressing the #MeToo
movements and topics such as
'toxic masculinity' and 'rape
culture'.... Columbia
respectfully requests that the
Court grant its motion to
dismiss the Complaint in its
entirety." Will it?
We'll have more on this.
The case is
Doe v. Columbia University,
20-cv-6770 (Woods)
