An acquaintance of mine was attending a community college, where she was starting to get hit on by a professor. She allegedly reported the situation, but the professor then came up with a lie, saying that she was offering sexual favors for better grades.
The professor got more power for his word, and she was kicked out (or is going to get kicked out).
What can she do to prove that the professor is lying to cover his own rear when the dean/president of the community college believes the professor? She doesn't think she can do much because the dean doesn't believe her, but I think its utterly ridiculous that such a thing could happen so easily.

I'll like to state that I have only stated what I've been told about the situation. I don't feel like delving deeper at this current moment because she is pretty disheartened.
I'll also like to remind that this is a local community college, and if my memory serves me correctly, they aren't very expensive at all. Especially for a part time student living off campus, which I believe she is.
I would like recommendations on what to do if the situation is as stated, not conjectures on different scenarios that could have been the basis for this situation.

She could sue the university and the professor for slander. Since their acts will cause her to be kicked out of school, she could concievably ask for the total average pay difference between a college graduate and non-graduate for the rest of her life. Probably it will never get to court, however, because the university will realize that it has no evidence whatsoever and recant.

Okay really, I 100% feel that not all aspects of the story are being divulged, Not that you or your friend are lying but in my opinion, a university/college would take the better int rest of their students and not have a staff member who would cost them several thousands of dollars, it's just as easy to replace faculty as it students so what is the rest of the story. Especially when you have a lot of people who are making financial contributions to building up the school, paying the bills etc...
My school cost 25G's a year to go to, my professor's make about 100G's a year, so 4 student make his wages but their is a long list of students waiting to get so at my school they can ditch anyone who is a LIABILITY AND CLAIMS CULPABILITY. I dont buy your little story and I dont think think ACLU, the federation of teachers or any other organizations would buy into it, your friend can a cause stir in the community but also damage her own reputation, the schools, this man's teaching degree and the only thing anyone is going out of this is court time, legal fees and media, so someone better really think long a hard a witness stand is no place for a young pretty girl, who ultimately will made to look a like a hooker and the only career have is flipping burgers at MC Donald's.

Well if she had crummy grades, they will most likely believe the prof. If she had good grades, I would think they would believe her.
Generally if a prof does this, he has a history of doing it, does she know anyone that he hit on? They could help.
