• holding that a claim for equitable estoppel fails where the university complied with its procedures and there was insufficient evidence of gender discrimination
• explaining that the common law litigant's privilege operates to “shield an individual from liability for defamation”
• explaining that the Court's role is only to determine if the school discriminated against the plaintiff under federal law or otherwise violated a provision of state law when it expelled him for sexually assaulting a fellow student
• stating that “since [defendant] Vassar [College] [wa]s a private college, and not a state actor, ‘the federal Constitution does not establish the level of due process that [Vassar] had to give [the plaintiff-student].’”
• interpreting Sandoval and other precedent to mean there is no private right of action for disparate impact under Title IX and citing cases
