DURHAM, N.C. — A former Duke student is suing the university, claiming the school kicked him out as retaliation after he claimed that he was sexually assaulted by a faculty member.
(Warning: Story contains graphic details or images)
The lawsuit claims the student, referred to as "John Doe" in the lawsuit, reported the attack to faculty members at Duke, including Duke University President Vincent Price, and filed a formal report with campus police.
The lawsuit says Duke created a retaliatory work environment after the student reported the sexual assault and claims the university delayed its investigation because of victim's gender.
For two years Duke ignored Doe and failed to investigate the sexual assault, according to the lawsuit.
