SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 3 – 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, 2020 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'....
On August 26,
2021 Judge Woods held another
proceeding, and Inner City
Press again covered it. There
are been filings not put into
the docket, but it seems now
they will be, with pseudonyms.
