Student informs school he was being falsely accused, school investigates him

Published August 4, 2016 8:44pm ET



An Augustana University student is suing his school after being expelled following an accusation of campus sexual assault.

The student says in his lawsuit that he initially told the school that a fellow student had been falsely telling people he had raped her. He “asked the school to intervene.” Instead, the school went to the accuser and suggested she go to the police. The accuser did so and on Aug. 4, 2015, the accused student was arrested and charged with sexual assault.
