FINDING THAT PETITIONER HAD NONCONSENSUAL SEX WITH ANOTHER COLLEGE STUDENT NOT SUPPORTED BY SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, DETERMINATION ANNULLED AND RECORD EXPUNGED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, annulling the respondent-college’s determination and expunging the petitioner-student’s record, determined the finding that the petitioner had nonconsensual sex with another student was not supported by substantial evidence:

Respondent sanctioned petitioner by placing him on persona non grata status, barring him from the college campus, and making a notation of a disciplinary violation on petitioner’s academic transcript. This Court may review whether “the determination made as a result of a hearing held, and at which evidence was taken, pursuant to direction by law is, on the entire record, supported by substantial evidence” … . “Substantial evidence” is defined as “such relevant proof as a reasonable mind may accept as adequate to support a conclusion or ultimate fact”… . We conclude that respondent’s determination that the complainant lacked the ability to consent because of her incapacitation is not supported by substantial evidence. The complainant’s testimony at the disciplinary hearing contradicted her version with respect to the sequence of events made in her statement to the Buffalo Police Department, which statement was the most contemporaneous to the incident. Moreover, the affidavit and testimony of the witness who was with the complainant the morning following the incident was consistent with the complainant’s earlier version of the sequence of events, which establishes that she could not have been incapacitated at the time of the incident. Thus, considering the record as a whole, respondent’s determination is not supported by substantial evidence and must be annulled … . Matter of West v State Univ. of N.Y. at Buffalo, 2018 NY Slip Op 01839, Fourth Dept 3-16-18
