A male student at the University of Delaware had completed all his course requirements and participated in formal graduation ceremonies when the school retroactively suspended him for a sexual misconduct claim against him the previous year.
John Doe, as he is referred to in court documents, had planned to enter the military as an officer after graduating from the university. He completed all of his course requirements and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) requirements and even walked in his official graduation ceremony. Having completed his education at the university, he was set to move on to the military as a second lieutenant. But even though he was no longer enrolled with UD and therefore had no involvement with the school, the university found him responsible for sexual misconduct and retroactively suspended him for two years, even though he had been allowed to go to class and complete assignments during that time without issue. The stunning decision by the school has kept John from beginning his military career and moving on from college.
