There are some details that need to be worked out, but expect Bryce Dixon back at USC wearing No. 13 in the near future!!

A statement from Dixon's attorney, Mark Hathaway:

LOS ANGELES, CA – On August 12, 2015, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge

Robert H. O’Brien ordered the University of Southern California (USC) to stay its

expulsion of sophomore Bryce Dixon, 19, clearing the way for the talented tight end to

return to the school and football team.

USC Title IX Investigator Kegan Allee, Ph.D. issued the expulsion sanction after

investigating Mr. Dixon for alleged violations of USC’s sexual misconduct policy in a

complaint brought last November by a female athletic trainer. After USC Vice Provost

Ainsley Carry, Ed.D upheld the sanctions, Mr. Dixon filed an appeal with the Los

Angeles Superior Court asserting that USC’s sexual misconduct investigation process

lacks basic legal rights for accused students.

“All I did was tell the truth, and I feel I was vilified by the investigator and was guilty

from the start and never had a chance to get a fair opportunity to defend myself,” Mr.

Dixon said. “I thought I would just tell the truth and it would be over. My only wish in

this world was to be a USC Trojan and to be successful while being a student athlete at

one of the finest institutions in the world. I did not know it could all end, by having a

false allegation thrown at me.”

“Judge O’Brien agreed with Bryce that USC’s Title IX sexual misconduct

investigation was unfair and lacks due process.” said Mark Hathaway, attorney for Bryce

Dixon. “USC’s investigator acts as police, prosecutor, and judge. There is no hearing, no

right to counsel, no rules of evidence, no presumption of innocence, and no right to

confront witnesses. Courts are beginning to recognize the injustice imposed on students.”
