A student at a university has reportedly been banned from going anywhere near one of his fellow students – because he reminds her of the man who raped her.
In a piece for the Harvard Law Review, Professor Janet Halley described how she had recently ‘assisted’ a student at a liberal arts college in Oregon who had to endure an investigation into his campus relationships and any possible sexual misconduct because he ‘reminded’ a female classmate of the man who raped her ‘months before and thousands of miles away’.
And according to Professor Halley, the man was ‘ordered’ to stay away from the woman in question – ‘cutting him off from his housing, his campus job and educational opportunity’ – despite the investigation coming up nothing.
‘He was found to be completely innocent of any sexual misconduct and was informed of the basis of the complaint against him only by accident and off-hand. But the stay-away order remained in place, and was so broadly drawn up that he was at constant risk of violating it and coming under discipline forthat,‘ she wrote.
Halley’s article did not name the school or the students involved.
