Matthew Jacobson v. Butterfly Blaise, et al.
Whether the Due Process, Equal Protection and
Privilege and Immunities Clauses of the United States
Constitution, and the Constitutional Guarantees of a
Fundamentally Fair Trial applicable to New York
through the Fourteenth Amendment, require that an
accused charged with what otherwise would be a
criminal offense in a statutorily mandated student
disciplinary proceeding at a public university be
afforded a meaningful opportunity to be heard and
judged by objective evidence in a fair, impartial,
unbiased and untainted forum by individuals free of
any conflict of interest and be given the opportunity to
confront adverse witnesses and present a material,
relevant and probative defense in a fair and equitable
manner.
