John Doe v. Purchase Coll. State Univ. of N.Y.

1 Citing case

  1. P. C. v. Stony Brook Univ.

    221 A.D.3d 686 (N.Y. App. Div. 2023)

    In reviewing the University's disciplinary determination made after a hearing, this Court may not "review the facts generally as to weight of evidence" ( Matter of Haug v. State Univ. of N.Y. at Potsdam, 32 N.Y.3d 1044, 1045, 87 N.Y.S.3d 146, 112 N.E.3d 323 [internal quotation marks omitted]). Rather, judicial review is limited to whether the administrative determination is supported by substantial evidence (see CPLR 7803[4] ; Matter of Doe v. Purchase Coll. State Univ. of N.Y., 192 A.D.3d 1100, 1102, 145 N.Y.S.3d 562 ). Substantial evidence is a "minimal standard" which means "such relevant proof as a reasonable mind may accept as adequate to support a conclusion or ultimate fact" ( Matter of Haug v. State Univ. of N.Y. at Potsdam, 32 N.Y.3d at 1045, 1046, 87 N.Y.S.3d 146, 112 N.E.3d 323 [internal quotation marks omitted])
