I doubt you can get hired at UI gen counsel without the education and admin law background to know this stuff like the back not your hand. Goes back to my observation that this isn't new because of the NIL. I think it's what happens when a kid hires lawyers to ramrod the school and his criminal defense attorney doesn't stop it. On that aspect of it, NIL would be new in that it's a source of litigation funding.
He's apparently got the cash now to hire decent lawyers. He had 4 sets of lawyers on his brief.
I disagree on him ramrodding the school. The school fucked up by not following OSCR when doing its DIA stuff. That is what opened the door to the lawsuit. His first argument was based on Title IX. Granted he lost that argument, but it sounds like OSCR applies in non-Title IX disciplinary instances while applying the same, or many of the same, Title IX processes (investigation, hearings, written findings, appeals, etc.).
Why didn't the school apply OSCR? They have had the time to do so. Maybe because they can't get the complainant to provide a statement or other info needed out of the Lawrence area? His criminal lawyer undoubtedly knows that is an issue for the school. It would be a reason to sign off on this, no?
