5:26Now PlayingA former student is suing his former college for expelling him for livestreaming a sex act. The problem is there was no investigation, and the woman who was filmed having sex told the school they’ve got the wrong guy. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Lawsuits are accumulating across the nation brought by students who say they were unfairly disciplined for sexual misconduct by colleges and universities. And increasing numbers of judges are finding their complaints sufficiently valid to move forward.
But few, if any, of the alleged violations of a student’s rights compare in egregiousness to what happened at Wesley College in Delaware, as described in findings by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) made public Wednesday.
What makes the case so unusual, compared to others that have come before the courts and are public, is the sheer number of important procedural protections denied to the accused. In most cases, courts have found one or two things wrong, for example, inadequate access to witnesses or a failure of a school to adhere to the letter of its own written procedures.
In this case, the OCR found virtually everything wrong and, therefore, a violation of Title IX’s protections against discrimination.
The case involved a student expelled in April 2015, just before he would have graduated, after being accused of helping to set up and watch the live streaming of a friend engaged in sex with a female student. The sex was consensual; the live streaming was not.
So “inequitable” was the college’s treatment of the accused male student that the OCR, better known for its aggressiveness in protecting the rights of accusers, has forced the college into a settlement involving wholesale revisions of its adjudication process to make it fairer to those accused of sexual misconduct.”*
