John Doe v. Univ. of St. Thomas

Plaintiff John Doe ("Doe") brought this action against the University of St. Thomas ("UST"), a private university, stemming from UST's investigation of a sexual misconduct complaint made against him. Doe originally brought six causes of action; however, the Court dismissed five of them, and the only remaining cause of action is one based on negligence. UST now moves for summary judgment on the negligence claim. The Court finds that UST owed Doe a duty of reasonable care, but because UST did not breach its duty of care, the Court will grant the Motion.
