Warning to social justice warriors in presidential palaces: Juries don’t automatically share your enlightened authoritarianism.
A jury found that Wesleyan University President Michael Roth grossly exceeded his authority when he shut down Delta Kappa Epsilon’s house shortly after it submitted a plan to comply with the school’s new coed mandate on the eve of the 2015-2016 academic year, Hartford Courant reports.
DKE sued the school more than two years ago, claiming it let every other identity group live together in its own housing but fraternities.
Roth’s emails brought to light during the trial suggested he was only willing to take on the fraternities if Wesleyan – a Yale wannabe that’s opening a $220,000-a-year center for social justice – could obtain their valuable real estate in the end.
