Boston College will face jury for allegedly railroading accused student in Title IX trial

First breach-of-contract case stemming from Obama guidance to go to trial
Boston College didn’t trust its chances before a jury in an accused student’s due process lawsuit against the school.
It wanted a bench trial where the judge would issue a verdict – and it wanted to give “John Doe†its own new disciplinary trial on sexual-misconduct charges.
But Doe prevailed, with U.S. District Judge Denise Casper ruling Friday that a jury will consider his breach-of-contract and “basic fairness†claims against the college, school newspaper The Heights reports.
