Schaer sued Brandeis after a disciplinary process through which he was judged to have engaged in "unwanted sexual activity," activity that he argued was consensual. The university's Board of Student Conduct, most of whose members were students, suspended Schaer for three months over the summer and placed him on disciplinary probation for his senior year.

Several seconds pass until the water pressure builds up and the ball pops through...
...damages. Acknowledged or not, rape and other forms of gender violence constitute a problem that penetrates without compunction the ivy walls surrounding our own campus. Both enduring and watching others endure the turmoil of such violence is already a devastatingly painful experience; without the rights guaranteed by VAWA, the process of seeking reparations for our peers in the public sphere can be almost unbearable...
