Chris Muha Quoted in Law.com Discussing a Lawsuit Against Princeton University

June 24, 2024 -- A Princeton University freshman suspended for allegedly assaulting two female friends filed a federal complaint against the Ivy League institution last week, claiming the disciplinary committee has been notoriously prejudicial against such claims brought by women against men.

Dillon PLLC and Ford O’Brien Landy attorneys filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of the plaintiff, John Doe. The 79-page complaint asserts allegations including breach of contract, gender-based discrimination under Title IX (20 U.S.C. §1681), and negligence in the case Doe v. The Trustees of Princeton University. According to the complaint, Doe contends that his disciplinary investigation was marred by bias and prejudgment, citing Princeton’s Committee on Discipline's purported 98% conviction rate among students undergoing its conduct process.

Chris Muha stated, “We think Princeton rushed him through an unfair process where the only eyewitness said it never happened and one of the members of his panel literally fell asleep during the hearing. He deserved to be treated more fairly and we look forward to exonerating him through this process.”
