9th Cir. revives a Title IX suit from a male grad student dismissed from UCLA after an accusation of misconduct from a female student. Finds allegations sufficient to state a claim. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin… 
Court finds plausible inference of Title IX sex discrimination where student alleged (1) external pressures, including the Obama admin's infamous "Dear Colleague" letter; (2) pattern and practice of discrimination against previous male students, shown by state litigation; and
(3) specific statements from univ. staff to this student, including the claim that female accusers do not fabricate allegations in Title IX cases, which seems, uh, yeah, problematic.
"Believe all women" works as a political slogan, but when your Title IX coordinator is telling the accused that "no female has ever fabricated allegations against an ex-boyfriend in a Title IX setting," you're gonna have a bad time in court.
*assuming the facts in the complaint are true, which the court has to at this stage.
They can hash that out later.
