ASHE SCHOW: Drew University Hosts Campus Sexual Assault Summit.

Drew is also currently embroiled in a lawsuit regarding its handling of a sexual assault claim during the Fall 2013 semester.

Former student Kevin Parisi is suing the university for what he claims is gender discrimination, stemming from the way he was treated after being accused of sexual assault. He was ultimately found “not responsible,” but had already been removed from his dorm and barred from campus except for the cafeteria and buildings where he had classes. Parisi said his grades and health suffered due to the stress of the situation.

Drew spokeswoman Elizabeth Moore told the Examiner that Parisi’s lawsuit and the summit were not linked.

I rather doubt that the conference will stress the dangers of false accusations, and the ramifications for accusers and universities. But I’m sure we’ll see conferences on those topics soon enough.
