Whatever happened with the civil suit filed against the University?

Florida State's board of trustees on Monday filed a motion requesting a federal court dismiss a lawsuit brought by Erica Kinsman, who accused former Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston of raping her in 2012.

In response to a lawsuit filed by Kinsman in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in January, Florida State disputed the allegations in the lawsuit but said even accepting them, "FSU is not liable to Kinsman under Title IX."

"Nothing about FSU's handling of this matter was unreasonable — much less clearly unreasonable, which Kinsman must prove to survive this Motion to Dismiss," the response states.

"Kinsman's complaint is remarkable in many ways. She does not allege identifying Winston as her assailant to anyone at FSU other than her confidential victim advocate before the media broke the story of her alleged assault, causing her to leave the University. She does not allege that FSU denied her a single request for remedial action. And — having seen her claims of an assault rejected by both the State Attorney and a University-appointed hearing officer — she seeks from this Court a third bite at the apple, essentially asking this Court to serve as a student-disciplinary appeal board. When her Complaint is stripped of its rhetorical flourish and legal conclusions, its failure to allege that FSU's deliberate indifference caused her any harassment is clear, so Kinsman's Complaint should be dismissed."
