Of course, no lawsuit is a real win for a university.  First of all, with the typical deductible being $50,000, and legal fees being what they are, even winning at the motion-to-dismiss stage can be costly.  Then there is the time and anxiety involved in such a suit for the named defendants and other responsible administrators.  And I'm talking here about the suits we win.  Never mind what a loser can cost your institution.
