US Court: Columbia University Did Not Discriminate Against Male Student




Did not see the original complaint or read the decision. Did the Plaintiff's lawyer allege violations of the equal protection clause, as applied to Title IX standards created by university administrators to adjudicate claims of sexual offenses? They usually do discriminate against men at college campuses. 

[From article]
A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a lawsuit by a Columbia University student who alleged the institution has an “anti-male” bias and was pressured by campus women’s groups into suspending him after a female student he had a fling with claimed it wasn’t consensual.
Manhattan Judge Jesse Furman sided with Columbia University officials, saying the suit filed last year by the unnamed student failed to provide proof the plaintiff was discriminated against and suspended because he’s a man.
