Unlike that case, this was a procedural case about whether or not the process of adjudicating student sexual assault cases met Title IX requirement and it involved 8 plaintiffs (they're getting far less than the sole plaintiff in the FSU case). Comparatively, the cases are nothing alike.
We were being sued over whether or not a. student defendants should be allowed attorneys at disciplinary hearings (state law says that this must be but other universities can and do operate differently - Texas is being sued for not allowing defendants attorney and Title IX is unclear on this) b. the amount of time it takes to bring a student case before the administrative body was too long and c. whether we were properly meeting all aspects of Title 9.
That is why so many were pissed off about the news portrayal of this case. It was a case about process.
