[QUOTE="bobbob, post: 1133956, member: 531828"] I agree, a countersuit would be silly. Best case scenario is to just get this wrapped up and move on. A countersuit is the exact opposite of that. It is extremely rare for a judge to dismiss a suit on their own accord. One of two things is far more likely: 1. The university files a motion to dismiss. This would be either the type of "their complaint is defective" variety. Either the plaintiff didn't clearly state their cause of action or they don't show enough support for it. 2. The university files a motion for summary judgment. Here, after discovery is basically done, they would be saying "there is no issue of material fact and the facts don't support the claims". This is probably more likely. The University has to turn over all the findings and underlying documents. The plaintiffs get to look through them and dig more if they want. Then briefs are written, then a decision is made. Minimum a year. The fastest way would be some sort of settlement. [/QUOTE]
