• holding that plaintiff “fail[ed] to plausibly allege that the investigation reached an outcome against the weight of the evidence or allege any additional facts suggesting bias based on his sex”
• explaining that to establish prima facie discrimination case under Title VI requires showing that plaintiff “was treated differently from similarly situated [persons] outside his protected class”
• stating that First Amendment retaliation claims require the plaintiff to show “the adverse action was motivated in part by plaintiff’s exercise of his constitutional rights” (emphasis added)
• explaining that “allegations regarding the University’s treatment of [the plaintiff’s] accuser do not support his claim that a female in similar circumstances—i.e., a female accused of sexual harassment or stalking—was treated more favorably”
• determining summary judgment was appropriate when the proffered comparators were not similarly situated in all relevant respects
• referring to the legal framework outlined by the Supreme Court for Title VII cases in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973)
