Yale University, et al. Jane Doe made a complaint of sexual assault to Yale University against Plaintiff Khan. She participated in the school's Title IX process and Khan was later expelled. Among other claims against the university, Plaintiff Khan sued Jane Doe for defamation for her statements made during the campus proceedings. The Court will consider whether statements made during the course of Title IX sexual harassment proceedings are entitled to absolute immunity from defamation claims. The amicus brief highlights for the Court the myriad public policy reasons supporting interpretation of Connecticut's defamation law to grant immunity to statements made during the course of schools' Title IX sexual harassment proceedings.
