I find it far more likely that he’s the common denominator given that multiple people seemed to have a similar reaction to his behavior. Occam’s Razor and all that. But you’re right that it’s scandalous that some belligerent jerk would cause a waste of taxpayer dollars defending frivolous litigation.
That said, you haven’t explained, why, exactly, some dude’s axe grinding is a National news story? Can you explain your reasoning?
There is a transcript in the 2nd link, showing exactly what questions were asked.
Beyond the idea of a student being expelled for asking questions on microaggressions, and the obvious partisanship, there is extremely problematic weaponization of a psychological evaluation at play.
He wasn’t expelled for the question it was about his growing frustration after the panel discussion.
Is there video?

Haha. You think.
He grew more agitated, was offered counseling, he refused it.

This is so disturbing. Questioning orthodoxy and speaking up should be encouraged and applauded, especially in a college setting.

There is zero evidence that he was belligerent at any point. That's the point of the story; did you actually read it?

Because asking questions at a lecture got him booted out of med school. That’s really f’ed up. And the fact you don’t see how f’ed up that is is even more frightening.

Of course you do; that's the standard reaction. That's why you need to read both posted articles carefully.
What if, just maybe, things went down exactly as presented here?

"Fairly" disturbing? Holy moly. I hope he crushes them in court. And you're right OP - this should be a national news story.
