Haug v. State University
New York Court of Appeals
32 N.Y.3d 1044 (2018)
- Written by Steven Pacht, JD
Facts
Benjamin Haug (plaintiff) was a student at the State University of New York at Potsdam (university) (defendant). The university determined in an administrative proceeding that Haug violated its student code of conduct. Haug responded by filing a petition, pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules Article 78, challenging the university’s decision. Specifically, Haug attacked the university’s reliance on hearsay evidence and its rejection of Haug’s live testimony contradicting the hearsay. The appellate division ruled that the university’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence. The university appealed.
