Expelled Cadet Who Sued Coast Guard Over No-Child Policy Will Get His Degree
Olson learned of his fiancee’s pregnancy in April of his junior year, according to the lawsuit. She decided not to have an abortion and he decided not to resign because that would have meant allowing the academy to recoup the cost of his education, estimated at up to $500,000, according to the lawsuit.
The couple had Olson’s parental rights terminated in hopes of enabling him to graduate, and he later went through a long administrative process to try to get his status restored, to no avail, according to his lawyers at the American Civil Liberties Union, the, and Yale Law School’s Veterans Legal Services Clinic.
The lawsuit sought his commission and back pay, since he makes about $3,000 less than he would if he had been granted his commission as an officer. The ACLU said there is no financial component to the settlement, but it does include a statement that will allow him to apply to be commissioned as an officer.
