May 2, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 144 ORDER - The Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment, dkt. 60 . Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law on Ms. Bull's § 1983 Fourteenth Amendment and state-law defamation claim s. However, because Ms. Bull has offered admissible evidence of a sufficiently similar comparator who received a lesser sanction for dishonest conduct to rebut BSU's proffered, legitimate explanation for her termination, her Title IX and § 1983 First Amendment claims survive Defendants' motion. Counts I, IV, and V will be tried to a jury. (***SEE ORDER***). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 5/2/2012. (JKS)
January 10, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 113 ORDER - Presently pending before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Exclude Expert Testimony for Purposes of Summary Judgment, dkt. 85 , which the Court DENIES.

Any response by Ms. Bull to Defendan ts' objections must be filed by March 16, 2012. Defendants need not file a reply brief. Should Defendants choose not to pursue the depositions of Plaintiffs experts, they shall file a notice with the Court by January 24, 2012. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 1/10/2012. (JKS)
