College to face jury for ignoring ‘blackmail’ used to find student guilty of rape
“U.S. District Judge C.J. Williams said a reasonable jury could find Dordt’s Title IX proceeding ‘disfavored Doe’ as a male, its policies framed women alone as ‘victims of sexual assault,’ and that “gender bias was a motivating factor in the erroneous outcome’ of the proceeding, suggesting ‘articulable doubt’ about his guilt.”
This lawsuit, Doe v. Dordt College et al, and its critical files are in our Title IX Lawsuits Database.
Court may pare back secrecy in campus sexual misconduct suits
“Attorney Philip Byler told the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Richard Stearns requiring that the plaintiff either file under his true name or dismiss the suit was unfair and contrary to the custom in such cases.”
This lawsuit, Doe v. MIT, and its critical files are in our Title IX Lawsuits Database.
No, the Boys Are Not Doing Just Fine
“Men trail women from grade school through college. That’s a real problem.”
Court Makes It Easier for Plaintiffs to Win Libel Lawsuits Against #MeToo Claimants
“Respondent Kaija Freborg identified appellant Byron Johnson in [a Facebook] post as one of three dance instructors who had sexually assaulted her. Johnson sued Freborg for defamation, and Freborg moved for summary judgment. The district court granted summary judgment to Freborg because it determined that her statement was true and involved a matter of public concern.”

“Among the slated changes in the rules is a return to what’s known as the “single investigator” method of conducting inquiries, in which, as the name suggests, a complaint is often handled by one administrator. In 2020, Betsy DeVos, then secretary of education, put an end to that approach.”
Court Questions Biden Administration’s Title IX Overhaul
“The Biden policies place schools and state officials between a rock and a hard place, caught between protecting the rights of women and girls under Title IX and state law and complying with administrative edicts that require them to allow males into female-only spaces.”
MANNING: The Biden Admin’s Title IX Rule Should Be Stopped Dead In Its Tracks
“The National Association of Scholars found, for example, that only 1 of 59 Title IX employees surveyed had any legal experience protecting due process in court, while almost all had politicized backgrounds in women’s studies or gender violence.”
‘So to Speak’ podcast: Title IX gets twisted again
“Joining us to analyze the regulations and their impact are FIRE’s executive director and author of the book “Twisting Title IX,” Robert Shibley, Allen Harris Law Partner Samantha Harris, and Brooklyn College professor KC Johnson.”
Proposed Title IX Regulations Roll Back Trump-Era Policies, Raising Concerns Among Higher Education Experts
““In turn, the proposed Title IX regulations allow educational institutions greater latitude in constructing their own policies and procedures,” Miltenberg wrote in an email. “However, our concern is that the overall effect will be to marginalize due process protections for the sake of streamlined resolutions in order to meet the increased demand for resources under the broader definition of sex-based harassment.”
