Division 1 Court of Appeals

Austin Cornelius, Appellant v. Washington State University, et al, Respondents (846574)


Austin Cornelius claims he was hazed at a fraternity while attending Washington State University (WSU). Cornelius appeals an order granting summary judgment in favor of WSU. He argues Washington’s anti-hazing laws and regulations create an implied cause of action permitting him to sue. He also argues WSU owed him a duty of care and is thus subject to negligence liability. COA # 84657-4-I. King County Superior Court # 20-2-11983-1 SEA.
