"Incident that happened on a recruiting trip" (Lathon)

[QUOTE

"The athletic recruit accused the University of discrimination on the basis of race, sex and age, as well as retaliation. He was accused of sexual violence against a student and apparently received disciplinary action from Northwestern. He is asking NU to 'reverse & expunge the Title IX findings and/or allow' him 'to have due process for the Title IX proceedings.'

'Either process would allow [redacted] to reinstate his name, character and reputation so he can be admitted into a Division 1, high major university,' the complaint reads. 'This reverse process should also amend [redacted] ability to be admitted into a prestigious university with reputable academic, afford more career prospects and increase his earning potential.'

The complaint also asks for Northwestern to publicly post the findings of its investigation on social media, submit documents to 'each college that declined his admission' and provider clearer information and Title IX resources to its coaches, recruits and parents."

This implies that there is some sort of record or black list as a result of Title IX proceedings that was used to prevent the student from being accepted at other institutions. This is an allegation at this point and might or might not be true. But if it is true that the results of NU's investigation have been used as part of a record or a black list that has been used by other institutions as the basis for denying his admission, are you okay with things being done this way? Especially if he has no apparent recourse to contest it?[/QUOTE]

It is highly unlikely that NU is saying anything other than the person’s admission was revoked. Though many posts seem to assume the opposite, so far as I can see the only support for such a claim is in the story alleging the complaint. The allegations in most complaints are grossly over blown when not flat out wrong. Relying on the allegations of a complaint is just asking to be misled.
If the complainant has any actual proof he would plead the provable facts. Odds are 95 -5 or better that the complaint lacks any legitimate basis.

Odds are 99 to 1 that the case is dismissed or settled.
