A Montgomery County private college has successfully fought off allegations that it failed to properly respond to a student’s alleged sexual assault and that it sought to retaliate against her for her report. 

On Feb. 11 a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found in favor of Manor College on claims of both deliberate indifference and retaliation. The jury reached that conclusion despite its use of a plaintiff-favoring standard for establishing whether or not retaliation occurred.
