MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JULIE A. ROBINSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE -Plaintiff Pourya Shahmaleki brought this lawsuit against Defendant Kansas State University (“KSU”) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of his due process and equal protection rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This matter comes be*1241fore the Court on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 5) and Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Amend his Complaint (Doc. 22).1 Plaintiffs proposed Second Amended Complaint asserts his Fourteenth Amendment claims without reference to Section 1983, and also asserts discrimination and retaliation claims under Title , VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, 42 U.S.C, § 2000d. The matter is fully briefed and the Court is prepared to rule. For , the reasons stated below, the Court grants Defendant’s motion to dismiss, with prejudice, and denies Plaintiffs Second Motion to Amend his Complaint, without prejudice, with leave to amend his Complaint as to his proposed Title VI claims.
I. Rulé 12(b)(6) Standard
To survive a motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), a complaint' piu§t present factual allegations, assumed to be true, that “raise a right to relief above the speculative level” and must"" 'contain “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.”2 “[T]he complaint must give the court reason to believe that this plaintiff has a reasonable likelihood of mustering factual support for these claims.”3 The plausibility standard does not require a showing of probability that-® defendant has acted unlawfully, but requires more than “a sheer possibility.”4 “[M]ere ‘labels and conclusions,’ and ‘a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action’ will- not suffice; a plaintiff must offer specific factual allegations to support each claim.”5 Finally, the Court’must accept the nonmoving party’s factual allegations as true and may not dismiss on the ground that it appears unlikely the allegations can be proven.6
The Supreme Court has explained the analysis as a two-step process. For the purposes of a motion to dismiss,1 the court “must take all the factual allegations in the complaint as true, [but] we ‘are not bound to accept as true a legal conclusion couched as1 a factual allegation.’ ”7 Thus, the court must first determine if the allegations are factual and entitled to an' assumption of truth, of merely legal conclusions that are not entitled to an assumption of truth.8 Second, the court must determine whether the factual allegations, when assumed true, “plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief.”9 “A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.”10
*1242II. Factual Allegations:-
The following factual allegations' are drawn from Plaintiffs original Complaint and proposed Second Amended Complaint, and are assumed true for purposes of this ruling. Plaintiff is a male citizen of Iran, and was a graduate student and employee at KSU from August 2011 until May 1, 2013. During the 2011-2012■school years, Plaintiff excelled in his classes and had no issues regarding his status as'a student or as an employee of KSU. On May 1, 2013, Plaintiff was required to attend a meeting where he was informed that he was being charged with multiple violations of KSU’s Threat Management Policy. The charges were based on six incidents that Plaintiff alleges were untrue. First, one of Plaintiffs professors told her supervisor that Plaintiffs actions were “threatening” when he asked about her decision to require him to enroll in a class. Second, Plaintiff was charged with failing to enroll in the class. However, Plaintiff did enroll in the class and received an “A” grade. Third, employees in the International Student Scholar Services department felt “uncomfortable” when Plaintiff visited the department to discuss his health insurance. Plaintiffs inquiries during this visit were reasonable and nonthreatening.
The fourth charge related to an incident that occurred two years before the May 1, 2013 meeting. KSU claimed that,, based on a police report, Plaintiff was involved in a physical altercation with another graduate student. However, Plaintiff was never involved in a physical altercation, and no police report reflected such an altercation. Fifth, KSU asserted that Plaintiffs professors had reported that they did not want to work with him because he was “uncooperative and demanding.” Plaintiff alleges that his Professors did not state such a concern. Finally, KSU claimed that staff members were “intimidated” by Plaintiff when he was attempting to secure housing for the following school year-. Although Plaintiff may have been insistent, he did not make threats of physical violence toward the staff members.
At the conclusion of* the meeting, Plaintiff was given a letter that had been typed before the meeting. The letter stated that Plaintiff was expelled from KSU, that he was not allowed to have further contact with KSU professors, instructors, or staff members, and that he was placed on the “not allowed to reenroll list.” Further, Plaintiff was instructed that he would be escorted from the meeting to remove his belongings from his office and from his apartment by 6:00 p.m. that day. KSU also terminated Plaintiffs student visa that day. Plaintiff was not given an opportunity to rebut the allegations during the meeting. Although Plaintiff requested an appeal of the decision, he was informed that no appeal procedures were available under KSU’s policy. However, KSU allowed students who were not Iranian to appeal charges of misconduct.
Plaintiff subsequently filed claims with the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) related to 'the events leading to his expulsion. KSU reached a partial resolution of one of the claims with the OCR. Pursuant to this resolution, Plaintiffs expulsion was removed from his transcript, and his status was listed as “eligible to enroll.” In September 2014, Plaintiff reapplied for admission at KSU but was denied.
III. Discussion
A. Due Process and Equal Protection Claims
Plaintiff, in his original Complaint, brings Section 1983 claims against Defendant based on violations of his substantive due process, procedural due process, and equal protection rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. Plaintiff seeks monetary and equitable relief based on *1243these claims. Defendant seeks dismissal on the basis of sovereign immunity.11 It is well settled that sovereign immunity precludes a plaintiff from maintaining a Section 1983 suit against a state or a state entity.12 KSU, as a state university, is an arm of the State of Kansas that is immune from suit without a clear consent by the ¡state;13 As there is no showing that the State of Kansas has consented to suit, Plaintiff, may not maintain his claims against Defendant on a Section 1983 theory. Therefore, the Court dismisses Plaintiffs Complaint on the basis of sovereign immunity.
Further, the Court finds that Plaintiffs proposed amendments to his due process and equal protection claims would be futile. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) directs courts to “freely give leave” to amend “when justice ' so' requires.”14 However, a court may deny leave to amend based on futility when.the' complaint, as amended, would be subject to dismissal.15 Thus, to determine whether a proposed amendment would be futile, courts analyze the proposed amendment under the standard for a motion to dismiss.16 In his proposed First and Second Amended Complaints, Plaintiff abandons the Section 1983 theory and instead brings due process and equal protection claims directly under the Fourteenth Amendment.17 Congress’ enforcement power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment “includes the power to abrogate state sovereign immunity by authorizing private suits for damages against the States.”18 The Fourteenth Amendment does not, however, create a private remedy absent Congressional action,19 Sovereign immunity precludes Plaintiffs claims whether they are brought under Section 1983 or directly under the Fourteenth Amendment,20]: Thus, the Court finds .that Plaintiffs proposed amendments to his due process and equal protection claims would be futile. ;
B. Title VI Discrimination Claims
Plaintiff also seeks to amend his Complaint by adding claims of education *1244and employment discrimination under Title VI. Title VI provides in part that “no person ... shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”21 Courts often use the Title VII proof scheme to' analyze Title VI discrimination claims.22 Where, :as here, a plaintiff seeks to prove discrimination through indirect evidence, courts apply the familiar McDonnell Douglas burden shifting framework.23 Under this framework, a plaintiff fnust first establish a prima facie case of dismmination by a preponderance of the evidence.24 Establishing a prima fa-cie case raises- a rebuttable presumption that the defendant unlawfully discriminated against the plaintiff, and the defendant must' then articulate a- legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse employment action.25 If the defendant does so, the burden shifts back to the plaintiff to prove that the articulated reason was pretext for discrimination.26
At the pleading stage, a plaintiff is not required to have “adequately alleged a prima facie case” or “circumstances that support an inference of discrimination.”27 Instead, a plaintiff need only “set forth plausible claims.”28 Because McDonnell Douglas is an evidentiary rather than a pleading standard, a plaintiff need not satisfy the elements of the framework to survive a motion to dismiss.29 However, assessing the elements of the McDonnell Douglas framework is helpful in determining whether a plaintiff has set forth plausi-bleclaims.30
In Khalik v. United Air Lines, the Tenth Circuit applied the plausibility standard tó a Title VII pregnancy discrimination claim and a Family and Medical Leave Act retaliation claim.31 Applying this standard, the court found that the plaintiffs “general assertions of discrimination and retaliation, without any details whatsoever of events leading up to her termination, are insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss.”32 The court discussed how the plaintiff could have met the pleading requirements for her claims:
Plaintiff should know when she requested FMLA leave and for what purpose. She should know who she requested leave from and who denied her. She should know generally when she complained about not receiving leave and when she was terminated. She should know details about how Defendant treated her compared to other non-Arabic or non-Muslim employees. She should know the reasons Defendant gave her for ter*1245mination and why in her belief those •reasons were pretextual. She should know who grabbed her by the arm, what the context for that action was, and when it occurred. She. should know why she believed that action was connected with discriminatory animus. She should know who she complained to about- the discrimination, when she complained, and what the response was. She should know who criticized her work, what that criticism was, and how she responded. But in fact, Plaintiff offers none of this detail ... Without more, her claims are not plausible under the Twomblyllqbal standard.33 ■ ■
Here, Plaintiff makes several conclusory statements in support of his discrimination claims, including that certain faculty,and staff members at KSU viewed his nationality as something negative, that Defendant’s stated reasons for his expulsion were pretextual, ,and that Defendant’s actions in expelling him were discriminatory. These conclusory statements aye not entitled to the assumption.of truth.34
The Court finds the remaining- factual allegation's are insufficient to give rise to plausible Title. VI discrimination claims. Although Plaintiff alleges that each of Defendant’s stated reasons for his expulsion were false, this is not enough to support a claim of discrimination without alleging that Defendant acted in bad faith in coming to these reasons.35 Additionally, Plaintiff does not allege that the non-Iranian students who were afforded appeals were similarly situated to him, or provide any details as to who these students were.36 Plaintiff‘also asserts that KSU had procedures in place for disciplinary hearings but failed to use these procedures in his expulsion hearing. Plaintiff provides no details as to what these procedures were or how they would apply to him. Finally, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant prepared the expulsion letter before the hearing and did not allow him to respond at the hearing. However, Plaintiff does not claim that this violated .any KSU policy or allege that this constituted any difference in treatment with respect to similarly situated students.
Plaintiff need not provide specific facts as to all the details listed above, but he should be able to provide some context for his allegations.37 Without more, these allegations and the conclusory statements that Plaintiff offers in support of his claims do not survive-the Twombly/Iqbal standard. Therefore, Plaintiffs proposed Second Amended, Complaint to add Title VI discrimination claims would be futile. Given the nature of these factual deficiencies, however, the Court grants Plaintiff leave to amend his Complaint a third time to *1246conform his Title VI discrimination claims to the Twombly/Iqbal pleading standard.
C. Title VI Retaliation Claim
Plaintiff also seeks to amend his Complaint to add a Title VI retaliation claim. A plaintiff can establish retaliation through direct evidence that retaliation played a motivating part in the adverse action, or through indirect evidence of retaliation under the McDonnell Douglas framework.38 To establish a prima facie ease of retaliation under Title VI, a plaintiff must show (1) that he engaged in protected activity under Title VI; (2) that he suffered adverse action contemporaneous with or subsequent to such activity; (3) a causal nexus between the protected activity and the adverse action; and (4) the school knew of the retaliation and did not adequately respond.39
In support of his retaliation claim, Plaintiff alleges that he engaged in protected activity by complaining to the OCR concerning his expulsion, and that he was denied the ability to reenroll at KSU in September 2014.40 Plaintiff does not provide any details as to when he complained to the OCR, how the OCR responded, or whether there was any temporal or other causal nexus between his complaint and denial of his reenrollment. Although Plaintiff is not required to allege a prima facie case at the pleading stage, he is required to allege some facts to “give the defendant fair notice of what the ... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.”41 Like the plaintiff in Khalik, Plaintiff has failed to provide more than “general assertions” of retaliation.42 Therefore, the Court finds that' the Title VI retaliation claim in Plaintiffs proposed Second Amended Complaint would be futile. However, as with his Title VI discrimination claims, the Court grants Plaintiff leave to amend his Complaint a third time to address the factual deficiencies in his proposed Title VI retaliation claim.
IV. Conclusion
Based on the findings discussed above, the Court grants Defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint, with prejudice, on the basis of sovereign immunity. Plaintiff may not amend his Complaint with due process and equal protection claims,43 as' such amendments would be futile. Given the nature of the factual deficiencies in Plaintiffs proposed Title VI claims,44 however, the Court grants Plaintiff léave to file an amended complaint with these claims, which should clearly and specifically remedy the issues addressed in this Order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc, 5) is granted, with prejudice.
*1247IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, BY THE COURT that Plaintiffs Second Motion for Leave to Amend (Doc. 22) is denied, without prejudice. Plaintiff is- granted leave to amend his Complaiht as to his proposed Title VI claims within twéfify óné (21) days of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
