The University of Southern California football player whose field goal clinched the school’s Rose Bowl win in January was booted from the school weeks later for an alleged assault against his girlfriend that she insists never happened.

This week his 22-year-old girlfriend, Zoe Katz, publicly blasted USC for Matt Boermeester’s expulsion and the Title IX investigation of the “student-conduct issue” that led to the action. She has even hired an attorney, Kerry L. Steigerwalt, to clear her boyfriend’s name.

On Sunday she issued a lengthy statement detailing the “horrible and unjust” treatment the couple – who are still dating – received from the school’s Title IX officials.

According to the statement, the nightmare began in February, when Boermeester and Katz were roughhousing on campus, one part of which entailed Boermeester pushing Katz against a wall. The interaction was seen by at least one person, and eventually a report of the matter reached the school's Title IX office.

Katz was then called in to a Title IX investigation, in which she explained that the two were playing around.

“When I told the truth about Matt, in repeated interrogations, I was stereotyped and was told I must be a ‘battered’ woman, and that made me feel demeaned and absurdly profiled,” Katz says. “I understand that domestic violence is a terrible problem, but in no way does that apply to Matt and me.”

Who knew that empowering women is treating them like eternal victims even when they clearly object to being called one? Nothing beats a woman being forcibly called battered despite her protestations. 

 

Social justice in a nutshell.
