“The number of federal investigations into how colleges handle sexual violence reports has jumped 50 percent in the past six months,” the Washington Post reports:
On May 1, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights released the first public list of colleges and universities under scrutiny for possible violations of federal law in their responses to sexual violence allegations.
At the time, 59 cases were pending at 55 schools. As of this week, 89 cases are pending at 85 schools.
In other news, the number of lawsuits filed against universities in recent years alleging due process and other violations in adjudicating sexual assault has hit a new high as well, reaching 44 as of Oct. 8, according to a tally kept by A Voice for Male Students.
