Who could have possibly seen this coming!

quote:

A group of women who have come forward in recent months with stories about being sexually assaulted or beaten on LSU’s campus and then failed by administrators after reporting the allegations have filed a federal lawsuit against the university.


quote:

The lawsuit alleges that despite the federal government’s Title IX mandates and LSU’s own policies, LSU “repeatedly engaged in discriminatory, retaliatory, and other unlawful actions”


quote:

The women are asking for statutory and punitive damages expected to exceed $5 million, attorney's fees and court costs and a permanent injunction "requiring compliance with Title IX and recurring external audits of LSU’s Title IX compliance."

LSU is culpable. Covered up serious allegations.

The part I don't fully understand is naming TAF as a defendant.

From the article:

quote:

The lawsuit says that the Tiger Athletic Foundation solicited donations to "implement a deficient sexual misconduct education program and reporting scheme within the Athletics Department that was knowingly not able to meet the standards mandated by the NCAA or Title IX."


If TAF was used to fundraise for a program, can they really be held liable if LSU didn't effectively run that program?

Good for them. Worth every penny of it if this was proven to be the case. Verge and the Witch should be sued for personal damages and never set foot on the campus again.

Looks like an unlikely case for a class action.
