Georgia Tech will face questions Monday from a state lawmaker looking at whether the school is doing enough to protect the rights of students accused of sexual assault and other wrongdoing.

State Rep. Earl Ehrhart, a Republican from Cobb County, said while he looking at due process rights across the state university system he is particularly concerned about Tech, which has moved to aggressively punish those facing sexual assault allegations.

As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Sunday, the elite university been hit with two lawsuits by students who say they were wrongly expelled. One of those students returned to campus this month after the state Board of Regents reinstated him, overruling the school.

Additionally, former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears has been tapped to reeaxmine case of a fraternity disciplined after members were accused of hurling racial slurs at black female student.
