Johnson briefly discusses the roles that the low burden of proof (mandated by the Department of Education in 2011), the attitude of administrators, and the possibility of gender discrimination play in the lawsuit’s claims, and labels this as “a case to watch.” Head over to Minding the Campus to read Johnson’s assessment of this important case.
