Student’s suit against Dartmouth over sex assault suspension moves on with claim of racial discrimination Published: 7/14/2021 5:03:55 PM CONCORD, N.H. — A federal judge has allowed part of a suspended Dartmouth College student’s lawsuit against the school to move forward, including the student’s claim that Dartmouth racially discriminated against him during a sexual assault investigation last year because he is Black. And in his July 8 order, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph DiClerico said the student, who was a member of Dartmouth’s football team, has raised a “plausible claim” that the college investigated and punished several Black players in the past 15 years but did not take similar action against white players.
