A 1994 allegation led to university proceedings and a Supreme Court decision on the federal civil remedy for gender-motivated violence.
The Supreme Court’s opinion recounts the university proceedings. It invalidated the federal civil remedy in 42 U.S.C. §13981 on constitutional grounds.
The 2000 constitutional decision was not a criminal verdict about the alleged assault. University disciplinary findings and court rulings are separately identified.
