Student suspended over someone else’s Facebook post is suing

A University of Tulsa student is suing the university after being suspended for Facebook posts that his fiancee published.

George “Trey” Barnett was suspended in late 2014 after his then-fiancee, who wasn’t even a UT student, posted criticism of two UT professors and tagged Barnett. One of the professors filed a complaint against Barnett, alleging he should have controlled his fiancee’s Facebook posts.

Barnett was immediately slapped with interim sanctions that including removing him from several classes and banning him from communicating with some faculty members, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. He was also told to keep the matter quiet and not discuss with anyone else, hampering his ability to defend himself. Although, seriously, it should have been obvious to the school that Barnett did not author the Facebook posts.
