Another former cadet has filed a lawsuit against Virginia Tech over being suspended in connection with a blood-pinning ceremony.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court alleges the university violated the due process rights of Christopher J. Dana when it disciplined him following a student conduct hearing on hazing, The Roanoke Times reports.
In April, three Virginia Tech students sued over the same issue. A dozen cadets were found to have violated the school’s hazing policy in December and suspended over allegations that the military organization held a ceremony where the sharp ends of military pins were stabbed into the chests of underclassmen.
That legal action followed settlement of a separate lawsuit by a former student accused of overseeing the ceremony and also argued he was denied due process.
Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski said in a text message to the newspaper that the school wouldn’t comment on the latest lawsuit because it hadn’t received it.
