MEMORANDUM ORDER

Presently before the Court is a Second Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings filed by California University of Pennsylvania, Kirk John, Sammy Lonich, John Cencich, and Geraldine Jones (“Defendants”) on September 7, 2012 (Docket No. 20), Defendants’ Brief in Support, (Docket No. 21), Plaintiff Brendan Cypher’s Brief in Opposition to Defendants’ Second Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docket No. 23), Defendants’ Reply to Plaintiffs Brief in Opposition (Docket No. 24), and Plaintiffs Post Argument Brief in Opposition to Defendants’ Second Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docket No. 33). Upon consideration of these submissions, as well as oral argument heard on October 31, 2012 (Docket No. 28), the facts pled in Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint (Docket No. 18), and the applicable legal standard governing Rule 12(c) motions, which is the same standard used to evaluate motions under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as interpreted by the courts in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009), Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007), and Gladden v. Vilsack, 483 Fed.Appx. 664, 664-65 (3d Cir. 2012) (unpublished) (quoting Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 213 (3d Cir. 2009)), among other decisions, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion (Docket No. 20) is DENIED.

Defendants’ Motion with respect to Plaintiffs § 1983 claim relying on the *667Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution is DENIED, as the Court finds that Plaintiff has pled “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Phillips v. Cnty. of Allegheny, 515 F.3d 224, 234 (3d Cir. 2008) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955). To bring a successful claim pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a denial of equal protection, Plaintiff must demonstrate the existence of purposeful discrimination and that he was treated differently than others similarly situated to him. Chambers ex rel. Chambers v. Sch. Dist. of Phila. Bd. of Educ., 587 F.3d 176, 196 (3d Cir. 2009). The Supreme Court has held that the disabled are not a suspect class for purposes of an equal protection challenge. City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Ctr., 473 U.S. 432, 439, 105 S.Ct. 3249, 87 L.Ed.2d 313 (1985). Thus, there must be “no rational relationship between the disparity of treatment and some legitimate governmental purpose” for such a claim to rise to the level of an equal protection violation. Bd. of Trustees of the Univ. of Ala. v. Garrett, 531 U.S. 356, 377, 121 S.Ct. 955, 148 L.Ed.2d 866 (2001). In his Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff has pled that he suffers from depression; that there was a course repeat policy available to all graduate students; that Defendants have honored the requests of other graduate students to exercise their rights under the course repeat policy; and that Defendants denied Plaintiff the opportunity to avail himself of the course repeat policy based on his depression. (Docket No. 18 at ¶¶ 22-24, 44, 45). In this Court’s opinion, these allegations are sufficient to survive a motion for judgment on the pleadings.1

At this stage of the litigation, “a plaintiff need not establish the elements of a prima facie case; a plaintiff merely must put forth allegations that raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of the necessary element.” Fowler, 578 F.3d at 213. In light of these pleading requirements, the Court disagrees with Defendants’ argument that Plaintiff must specifically name or identify individuals who were treated differently than he in his complaint. (See Docket No. 21). Instead, the Court finds persuasive in this instance the Seventh Circuit’s decision that “the more demanding pleading requirements under Iqbal and Twombly do not require a plaintiff to identify specific comparators in a complaint,” though Plaintiff may ultimately need to identify specific comparators to prove his case. Geinosky v. City of Chicago, 675 F.3d 743, 748, n. 3 (7th Cir. 2012). The Court is further persuaded by Sims v. Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, wherein the Honorable Terrence F. McVerry of this Court held that “the question of whether other employees are similarly situated is fact-intensive” and a plaintiff who has stated a plausible claim for relief should be “entitled to engage in discovery as to whether the alleged comparators are, in fact, similarly situated.” No. 10-151, 2010 WL 3896428, at *4 (W.D.Pa. Sept. 30, 2010); see also Stabile v. Allegheny Ludlum, No. 12-168, *6682012 WL 3877611, at *7 (W.D.Pa. Sept. 6, 2012) (unpublished) (“[t]o the extent that there may be other relevant characteristics of the comparators, those characteristics may be developed during discovery and later challenged in a motion for summary judgment”).

Defendants point to Judge McVerry’s more recent decision in Myers v. Shaffer, and compare the present averments to those of said plaintiff, who asserted that the defendant police officers had investigated the claims of “other citizens” who had requested assistance in certain “standard police matters,” although the defendants refused to investigate plaintiffs similar complaints. 2012 WL 3614614, at *12-13 (W.D.Pa. Aug. 21, 2012) (unpublished); (See Docket No. 24 at 4) (citing Myers, at *12). However, Myers is clearly distinguishable from the case at bar. First, the plaintiff in that case brought his § 1983 claim as a “class of one,” Myers at *13, whereas here, Plaintiff has plainly alleged that he is a member of a specific class, namely the disabled (see Docket No. 18 at ¶ 23). Additionally, there, the plaintiff had not only failed to plead “a specific instance of differential treatment of similarly situated individuals,” he had failed to even identify the alleged actors. Id. at *12-13 (plaintiff referred to an “unidentified officer or officers of the subject police department ...” and generally alleged that they had refused to respond to “[his] complaints of vandalism and theft”). In fact, that plaintiff had not even pled the “ ‘threadbare recitation of the elements’ needed to bring his claim.” Id. at *13 (quoting Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1940).2 The same cannot be said here, where Plaintiff has averred specific instances of ostensibly discriminatory treatment by the named Defendants.3 (See e.g. Docket No. 18 at ¶¶ 29, 41)

Significantly, the “plausibility” determination promulgated by Iqbal is “a context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense.” Fowler, 578 F.3d at 211 (quoting Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949) (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, this Court applies its judicial experience and common sense to the academic context in which the alleged acts of discrimination occurred. Under the circumstances, and at this stage of the pleadings, Plaintiff could not have conceivably gathered particulars about similarly situated graduate students concerning disabilities; mental and emotional health; grades; and use of the course repeat policy, given the sensitive and confidential nature of such information.

Notwithstanding the present decision to deny Defendants’ instant motion, the Court reserves comment as to the merits of Plaintiffs case or his ultimate likelihood *669of success. At this juncture, the Court is satisfied that the existence of the course repeat policy demonstrates its anticipated use and that Plaintiff will more specifically identify comparators with the relevant characteristics during discovery. Taking Plaintiffs allegations as true and weighing all inferences in his favor, Plaintiff has pled facts sufficient to state plausible claims. Such allegations, if proven through discovery, may be sufficient for Plaintiff to prevail under said theory. Accordingly, Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Docket No. 20) is DENIED, without prejudice to Defendants raising said arguments at the summary judgment stage.
