A University of Colorado Boulder student has settled with the university after filing a lawsuit alleging mishandling of the investigation into whether he sexually assaulted another student.
The settlement comes at a time when colleges and universities across the country are being sued by students who claim they were not given adequate due process. Now the settlements are coming in, and accused students are increasingly being redressed by the universities that denied them basic due process.
The school’s attorneys initiated the settlement proceedings with the student, referred to as “John Doe” in court documents, and his attorneys. Under the settlement agreement, John will receive $15,000 from the university. The university also released what it would say to prospective schools that John, who agreed to withdraw from the university, to which he may apply.
