Columbia University has settled a lawsuit alleging mistreatment under Title IX brought by a former student who had been cleared by the school of sexual misconduct, according to the Washington Post.

Paul Nungesser was accused of rape in 2012 by fellow student Emma Sulkowicz, who demonstrated against the way university dealt with her case by carrying her mattress around the New York City campus.

The school did not reveal details about the settlement terms

How about "In 2015, he graduated from the school and filed the lawsuit". I mean, is that so hard?

LOL.
