University rebuked for expelling accused student after his accuser had to be told she was sexually assaulted

A federal court has said an expelled student can argue that the University of Denver discriminated against him based on sex.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on June 15 that John Doe “has provided sufficient evidence for a jury to decide whether the investigation into allegations and subsequent disciplinary action discriminated against him because of his sex.”

The court reversed a lower-court decision that said Doe’s expulsion did not constitute sex-discrimination. Doe’s accuser, Jane Roe, had sex with him and only later, after talking with friends, reported it as sexual assault. But that’s not the first time school officials have treated a female’s complaint more favorably than a male student’s, the court said.

The University of Denver has an inferable history of anti-male bias in its investigation of sexual misconduct cases, the 10th Circuit Court found in its remanding of a lawsuit back to the district court.
