A former Texas Christian University student is suing the school for allegedly mishandling her on-campus sexual assault.
The anonymous plaintiff said the school's Title IX office didn't take action on her rape complaint until she obtained legal counsel. The complaint also alleges the punishment issued by the university was a three-to-four page paper on the importance of mutual consent and to re-watch the school's orientation videos on consent.
The complaint alleges the university's response to on-campus sexual assault is a systemic issue that constitutes discrimination.
"Rather than protect female students from being raped, TCU adopted a policy to protect male students who rape," the complaint reads.
TCU told 四虎影院 via email the university takes sexual assault allegations seriously.
"TCU鈥檚 first priority is always to protect the safety and well-being of our students, thus allowing them to focus on their education," the statement said. "To that end, TCU follows all applicable regulations and laws which apply to our student conduct process."
