Two years ago in the pages of the student newspaper, SMU police called Daniel Hux a “safety concern” who needed to be removed from campus before he hurt someone. Today, in a lawsuit filed in Dallas federal court, Daniel Hux claims he was the victim, and that his explusion in March 2011 was nothing short of a violation of his constitutional rights.

Hux, a former U.S. Marine, also alleges wrongful arrest, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and myriad other violations of his rights.

According to the 33-page complaint filed this afternoon, Hux enrolled at SMU in 2010, and was the recipient of an academic scholarship.
