The University System of Georgia has settled two federal cases with Georgia Institute of Technology students expelled over what they claimed were bogus allegations that they had sexually assaulted fellow students.
State lawyers representing the system’s Board of Regents and Georgia Tech officials have agreed to pay $125,000 to settle a case filed by a male student who was expelled, but later reinstated, over allegations that he had forced another male student to have sex with him.The second suit—filed by a male student who was expelled after a female student accused him of rape—was settled with an agreement that upholds his expulsion but will allow him to get his diploma from Georgia Tech.
