As the Columbia University student tells it, the encounter was harmless fun: A female freshman invited him into her suite bathroom, got a condom, took off her clothes and had sex with him. But as that young woman later described it to university officials, the encounter was not consensual. The university suspended him for a year.

He felt the outcome was unjust, but he did not know what to do about it. His lawyer, Andrew Miltenberg of Manhattan, did.

Invoking Title IX, the federal gender-equality statute that is typically used to protect the rights of female students, he sued Columbia, saying his client had been “discriminated against on the basis of his male sex.”

I hope this works and finally brings some sanity back into how colleges handle sexual assault cases. The case cited in the article seems like a perfect example and truly insane.

Quote:

Doe said in the complaint that a female student, named as Jane Doe, filed a complaint against him in September 2013 for nonconsensual sexual activity, five months after John Doe said the two engaged in sexual activity in May 2013. After the University found John Doe responsible this February, it suspended him until the fall of 2015.

Quote:

According to the suit, both John and Jane Doe individually appealed to the University to reduce the sanction. Columbia ultimately denied the appeal.

My guess is they hooked up at the end of the school year at a party. Chick thought they'd hook up against in the fall. He turns her down or ignores her and she files a complaint. Then after realizing her actions had consequences beyond just getting the attention of her love interest she asked the school to drop the punishment.

What I like about suing under Title IX is that all you have to do is ask yourself if the same events would have occurred if the genders were different: Dude pulls a chick in the bathroom, whips out a condom and takes off his clothes, they bang, then 4 months later he claims it wasn't consensual. Would the university have kicked her out for a year?

I think not.

As much as I hate these laws, the spirit of them may hilariously be used to push the pendulum back in the opposite direction.

Bitches need to get trolled back.

Title IX has fucked over so many men, destroyed so many dreams so now to see it used to get back at the feminazi hordes who shoved this shit down our throats in the first place is a thing of beauty Well done sirs, you'vee succeeded at the very least in trolling the hell out of the SJW's who are losing their shit as a result

I think I read something like this in another thread a while back, but not sure if it was the same article, but definitely same circumstance (Title 9)
Has any of the other male usage of title 9 been successful in their lawsuits yet?

Article was published today so I don't think it's been posted here before. Looks like this strategy is becoming increasingly common:

Quote:

During the 12-month period it most recently tracked, the federal Education Department received 96 Title IX complaints related to sexual violence. In the previous period, that number was 32. The department does not track how many were lodged by women and how many by men.

A database maintained by a group called A Voice for Male Students counted 11 lawsuits this year in which male students “wrongly accused of sex crimes found themselves hustled through a vague and misshapen adjudication process with slipshod checks and balances and Kafkaesque standards of evidence.”

The database: http://www.avoiceformalestudents.com/lis...l-assault/

Seems like a winning strategy. Just ask the university how many women have been kicked off campus for having sex with an intoxicated man.

Every man falsely accused of rape should sue the fuck back and even go public with it. You've got video evidence that was recorded by "someone without your knowledge"? Publish the shit immediately and shame the bitch.

Go all out full guns blazing - it is not as if you have much to fear from fighting back - you are fucked anyway.

I think the schools should get out of the business of adjudicating these cases at all.

Rape, sexual assault, indecent assault, they are crimes. If someone makes an accusation, it should go to police and prosecutors to be decided by those rules.

Rape is a life felony. Rapists usually get a few years in prison, even if they have no criminal record. How can schools suspend a guy for a few months for a life felony?

Absurd. I bet if cases went to the cops, there would be far less complaints, because the liars would think twice.

Schools ALWAYS turn these incidents into "hush" crimes, because no school wants a reputation of having women being raped on campus.

You are correct, they do want to hush things up.
That has backfired, because it's led to the current situation of having a plethora of bullshit claims.

It seems to me like they fucked up in two ways - first they did their best to keep quiet cases of truly horrific but rare rapes that would stain the campus' reputation, then as a mea culpa they started railroading dudes on BS complaints while still not addressing serious cases (which are better left to the police anyway).
