Duke Settles Student Lawsuit Over Sexual-Misconduct Case

Duke University has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by a former student who said he was wrongfully expelled for sexual misconduct. The terms of the settlement between the private college in Durham, N.C., and Lewis McLeod are confidential, according to representatives from both sides. Mr. McLeod was the subject of a Page One article in The Wall Street Journal in 2015 on the challenges colleges face in balancing the rights of the accuser and the accused in sexual-misconduct cases. He sued Duke in 2014.
