55 Colleges Under Title IX Investigation for Sex Assault

[BusSport]

From The Washington Post:

The new federal list of 55 colleges and universities with open “sexual violence investigations” includes some of the biggest names in higher education and a few from the Washington region.

The list, released Thursday, continues the federal push to shine a spotlight on campus sex assaults in response to questions raised in recent years about how prominent colleges have handled r*pe allegations and related issues. This week, a White House task force released a report aiming to help colleges prevent sex assaults.

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is examining complaints it received from the nation’s college campuses and those it discovered as part of its regular efforts to see if schools are in compliance with the federal law known as Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender at schools that receive federal funding. The department said this is the first comprehensive look at which campuses are under review for possible violations of the law’s requirements for the handling of sexual violence, but the new list does not include details about exactly what the department is examining at each school.

ESPN's take:

The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday took the unprecedented step of releasing the names of the 55 colleges and universities currently facing a Title IX investigation over their handling of sexual abuse complaints. [...] A school's appearance on the list does not mean it has violated the law but that an investigation is ongoing.

Title IX prohibits gender discrimination at schools that receive federal funds. It is the same law that guarantees female students equal access to sports, but it also regulates institutions' handling of sexual violence and increasingly is being used by victims who say their schools failed to protect them.

Swept under the rug more likely, like every other criminal or NCAA violation committed in SEC country.

Surprised Miami's not on that list. Do they kill their victims so they can't complain?

How is Notre Dame not on here? Their football program alone should earn them a spot over the past few years.

Least Surprising School of all: PENN STATE. I think ASU was about as shocking as sunny weather in Tempe too.

Title IX refers to women. Not sure why Ped State would be on this list. Sandusky was raping boys.

Maybe the James Franklin situation is why both Penn State and Vanderbilt (the only SEC school on the list) are under investigation.
