AHMED SALAU v. BRADY DENTON et al, Case No. 2:14-cv-04326-SRB
John Doe was wrongfully expelled from the university after sexual assault charges were brought against him. He claimed his fifth, sixth and fourteenth amendment rights were violated. All five motions to dismiss were granted.
John Doe V. Saint Louis University
In March 2014, after a night of partying, two St. Louis University students ended up in bed together at a house off-campus.
Two months later, the man got a letter from the university telling him he was under investigation for sexual assault.
The investigation carried on for months. During the inquiry, it was never disputed that the woman packed an overnight bag, willingly walked to the man’s house, got into his bed and had sex with him.
The pivotal question is whether the man knew the woman was too drunk to consent.
Initially, SLU suspended the student for a year just as he was preparing to graduate.
Two months later, the university reversed itself and cleared him of any blame — but not before holding his education in limbo.

John Doe v. University of Montana
John Doe is suing the University of Montana for wrongfully convicting him of sexual assault against a fellow student in February 2012. The suit is aimed at legal counsel David Aronofsky and Dean of Students Charles Couture, who did not diffuse the power and responsibilities of the judiciaries in the internal university case. Doe also claims that many of his due process rights were violated.

John Doe v. University of Montana, Case NO. 9:12-cv-00077-DLC
"Although the judge hearing the case dismissed it based on a legal technicality, the decision noted that “the process applied to Plaintiff Doe and the behavior of University officials in investigating and prosecuting this matter offends the Court’s sense of fundamental fairness and appears to fall short of the minimal moral obligation of any tribunal to respect the rights and dignity of the accused." In other words, a federal judge issued an opinion noting that the University of Montana’s sexual assault grievance process is fundamentally unfair to accused students (Title IX for All)".
