Posted: 06/15/16 7:56 pm ::: Second Title IX lawsuit filed against Baylor

Quote:

A lawsuit filed Wednesday against Baylor University cites three women as victims of sexual assault, including one who said she was assaulted by a Bears football player on campus in April 2014.

The lawsuit does not name any victims or alleged assailants, and it refers to Baylor employees only by position. It is the second Title IX lawsuit to be filed against Baylor regarding the school's handling of reports of sexual assault.

The other two alleged assailants are not identified as athletes, although one was described as "an assistant to the highest officials in the University."

The women say they were deterred from reporting their attacks, not provided support to continue their classes and subjected to a hostile environment.

"Due to the deeply personal and sensitive nature of individual cases and federal law, we do not publicly address specific cases, even when a student publicly shares details or reports of his or her own experience," Baylor said in a statement released later Wednesday. "This safeguard also helps assure other students that their right to confidentiality will be protected. The decision to report to the university or other authorities is a brave and personal choice and occurs on the student's timetable. We're committed to and have already begun to implement changes in order to provide a safe and supportive environment for students and faculty."

And yet many donors are SCREAMING for the reinstatement of Briles as AD. ~smdh~ I don't hear a lot of them screaming for the reinstatement of Ken Starr though. _________________ Don't take life so serious.
