A screenshot of a legal filing in Doe versus Syracuse referring to the University's claim that faculty and staff members "would be discouraged from serving" on misconduct boards "if their names were reported in this document."

While schools, accuser advocates, etc., often argue the names of those accused of sexual assault should be public information, they demand privacy for the names of faculty and staff who act as decision-makers in their cases. Example: the recent decision in Doe v. Syracuse University.

In a 45-page ruling granting and denying summary judgment, Judge Thomas McAvoy also ruled that the newspaper Daily Orange may access previously sealed documents – so long as the names of faculty and staff who acted as decision-makers in the student disciplinary hearing are redacted.

Case updated in our Title IX Lawsuit Database.
