Can you believe this sort of thing got started at UM?

This lawsuit is the outgrowth of a settlement forced on UM by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education. UM became the national model for responding to sexual harassment and assault, but those policies have been widely derided in recent years for depriving some college students of their due process rights.

This lawsuit seems to provide an example of what happens when bureaucrats and administrators become overzealous in their pursuit of what seems to be a noble cause.

Yes, it got its start at UM when 'Ol Royce rolled over and signed anything the far-Left DOJ wanted -- Tom Perez was in charge at that time -- and did so without reading the document or considering its impact on his own students. It was a total and complete abdication of his duty to defend the rights of the students charged to his care while at the University of Montana.

It is interesting, as these cases accumulate, how many are aimed at specific groups -- student/athletes, and fraternities. Specific objects of scorn of social justice warriors. UM still represents the absurdity but also the political nature of the process. A non-athlete Saudi student was allowed, perhaps even encouraged, to "get out of town" despite violent sexual assaults. The impact of the policies was aimed entirely at student athletes.

If these facts are enough remotely accurate, this one is truly unbelievable. Don't know Colorado law, but a plaintiff with these facts in a MT court would end up owning the defendant university.
