Lawsuit: In 'chilling' retaliation, university expelled women who reported sexual assaults

[TexasTowelie]

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, two former students claim they were expelled from Purdue University after the school couldn’t find enough evidence in their sexual assault reports.

The suit, filed under the pseudonyms of Mary Doe and Nancy Roe, claims that Purdue is working under a policy – “either written or unwritten” – in which “women who cannot prove their claims to the satisfaction of Purdue decision-makers face discipline up to expulsion.”

The women initially were expelled from Purdue, with their discipline reduced to two-year suspensions.

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Indiana’s Northern District, names Purdue, along with Katie Sermersheim — Purdue’s dean of students, and Alyssa Rollock — vice president for ethics and compliance at the university.

1. Why I support the 7th Amendment.

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

That would only make sense if there was proof that the women's claims were fraudulent.
