No Trial? No Jury? No Witnesses? No Attorney? Student Expelled Anyway

The Daily Caller reports:
A University of Michigan student was given a four-year suspension after being found guilty of sexual assault–despite receiving little notice of the charges against him, no attorney, no trial and no jury.

Now, the former student, Drew Sterrett, is suing the public university for abridging due process rights guaranteed to him under the U.S. Constitution.

Sterrett had sex with a female student in his dorm room during his freshman year at the university in 2012. Five months later, while at home in New York for summer break, the university informed him that she had filed a rape complaint against him, according to The Michigan Daily.

He was told that if he spent any time trying to find an attorney, the university would proceed without him. Later that day, he attended a hearing by Skype in which he denied any wrongdoing, according to The Detroit Free Press.



Is University of Michigan a racketeering enterprise??? We encourage the Michigan student to sue every individual and the university he came in contact with in this situation. University of Michigan has a nice endowment : too bad that some of it is probably going to be "redistributed". There's more here.
