ROANOKE, Va. -- Another former cadet has filed a lawsuit against Virginia Tech over being suspended in connection with a blood-pinning ceremony.
The Roanoke Times reportsthe 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.
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.
