I hope he wins and bankrupts Yale.
This is just another standard rape hoax.
Post Millennial:
A former Yale student who was kicked out of the school in 2019 after being accused and acquitted of rape in 2018 can now sue his accuser for defamation over statements she made during a school hearing on the matter after a Connecticut Supreme Court ruling over the summer.
According to the New York Post, 30-year-old Saifullah Khan has had a $110 million defamation lawsuit pending against the school since 2019, and has been fighting to bring his accuser into the suit.
In June, the state’s supreme court granted Khan’s request, and ruled that the accuser, a fellow student, shouldn’t receive “qualified immunity” from her testimony in a school hearing that Khan raped her after a 2015 Halloween party.
$110 million is nothing to Yale. It won’t bankrupt Yale.
The entire concept of qualified immunity needs to go.

I’d settle for it getting their minds right about how they handle things. Although the Oberlin College case shows us even a substantial monetary judgement doesn’t necessarily do that.
Probably not but it will help cutback on the amount of posterboard the chimps will have to make protest signs.
Qualified immunity for police officers is essential for them to be able to do their jobs without having their lives ruined if someone gets hurt while he performed his job according to the training he was given. It does not protect him if he violates the person’s civil rights.
I would agree, though, that qualified immunity for the staff of colleges and universities should be abolished, if it’s even a thing.
“Qualified immunity for police officers is essential for them to be able to do their jobs without having their lives ruined if someone gets hurt while he performed his job according to the training he was given.”
Not buying it. Lon Horiuchi claimed the same thing after murdering a woman in cold blood.
End it.
Now.

from a site of their’s on the internet:
“Yale’s endowment earned a 0.8% investment return, net of fees, for the year ending June 30, 2022, earning $266 million in investment gains. After $1.6 billion of spending distributions to the operating budget, the endowment value decreased from $42.3 billion on June 30, 2021 to $41.4 billion on June 30, 2022.”
As you indicated, $110,000,000 is baseline noise to them. Still, it was nice seeing Oberline squirm, and adding Yale to that list would be kinda nice as well.
Yale has a $41 billion endowment (yep, billion), not gonna bankrupt them by any means.
Why do these places have such huge endowment funds? What are they for?
Indeed, their endowment is about $42 billion. Plus some insider Wall-street paper-money political crony will simply give them another $110 million.
Don’t forget some insta-grants from the Biden Administration.
Its become a bizarre situation. They are tax-free, they indeed have been elite for hundreds of years, so have been investing and compounding interest over that time. Their elite graduates also donate at much higher rates. And they own many patents and inventions due to their historical research base and success, which also pays them very well. And because of this, they are also often first in line for MORE government research and grant money. They of course have highly intelligent investing teams.
Moreover, they never touch the endowment for daily operating costs, or even investment in new buildings and capital stock.
They are now like giant hedge funds, with hundreds of people running them - with universities attached.
It really is Matthew 25:29 in the real world.
Plantiffs don’t get what they ask for (unless politics are involved and the judge or jury wants to ruin the defendant).
Yale will offer $2 million to settle. He’ll counter with $10 million, then $5 million. And they’ll settle somewhere in between.
“Why do these places have such huge endowment funds?”
The money comes from alumni donations and foundations, among other sources - the institutions don’t pay taxes on the capital or it’s earnings, which can be used to supplement the operating budget or for emergencies. It’s also a way they keep score (Harvard’s endowment is some $53 billion).
I want to see the universities get sued over their forced vaccine policies.
Any woman can accuse any man of anything she wants, and the man is automatically assumed to be guilty. His life is ruined. She gets fame and fortune.
Nice. but $110M isn’t enough. maybe a multiple of that amount...say, 10 or 12.
