In a
prior post, we discussed a case against the University of Notre
Dame in which the alleged victim argued that Notre Dame's
actions were deliberately indifferent because it opened an
investigation against her wishes. Now, in a recent case out of the Eastern District of
Michigan, a plaintiff claimed that the University of Michigan acted
with deliberate indifference in response to her complaints of
harassment, alleging that the University essentially adopted a
wait-and-see approach, hoping commencement would resolve the
issues.
On the University's Motion for Summary Judgment, the Court
held that no jury could find that the University's response
amounted to deliberate indifference, noting instead the
University's prompt, compassionate and effective responses.
