It's almost identical to the JJ case out of Auburn University, and resulted with the young man being thrown out of school andpermanently barred from setting foot on campus.

When the criminal proceeding was set to go, the young lady bailed. However, campus "justice" had already been rendered. This is the new world of the Obama Administration re-write of campus sexual assault proceedings which pretty much shreds any notions of constitutional protections for the accused. We hear a lot about the "War on Women" from the left----- this is the "War on Men".

WASHINGTON, November 21, 2013—The federal government is backing away from the nationwide “blueprint” for campus speech restrictions issued this May by the Departments of Education and Justice. The agencies’ settlement with the University of Montana sought to impose new, unconstitutional speech restrictions, due process abuses, and an overbroad definition of sexual harassment and proclaimed the agreement to be “a blueprint for colleges and universities throughout the country.”

But in a letter sent last week to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), the new head of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Catherine Lhamon, said that “the agreement in the Montana case represents the resolution of that particular case and not OCR or DOJ policy.”

The "UM Settlement agreement" is Engstrom's revenge for being humiliated in his handling of nearly everything associated with the athletic department, including dicta by a Federal Judge about the mishandling.

By upending the normal constitutional protections of half of the campus (the guys), and the faculty as well, he gets what HE wanted: the power, next time, to wreck Jordan Johnson, or someone like him.

Had that agreement been in effect in 2011, JJ would be gone.

That's what Engstrom wanted, and if he had to sell out the entire University of Montana to get it, he would, and he did.

For Engstrom, it was purely personal, a mendacious and callow personal vindication of himself, and woe to any young man that crosses Engstrom again.

The follow-up, that even DOJ has distanced itself from the "UM Settlement Agreement," indeed, steering other universities away from it as a "model." It is a vivid illumination of just how much Engstrom gave away of student and faculty rights: DOJ knows it is indefensible in court, organizations were willing to take it there, and DOJ was going to lose.

But, Engstrom could care less. Anyone thinks that this small mind with a large salary has anyone's best interests at heart but his own, just recall: had this agreement been in effect, JJ would be gone, marked for life by that ruthless and vindictive man masquerading as a university president.

 

[argh!]

can't you guys just complain about the refs, like the rest of us?

Letting the truth out about incompetent jackass Engstrom is going to make it difficult to find a job for the arrogant a**hole at an institution other than UM. Who is going to hire this guy at another institution?

The Montana Board of Regents is too incompetent to get rid of Engstrom, so unless we can convince some other institution to take him, we are stuck with this idiot for years. UM is screwed.
