Harvard Law School Found in Violation of Title IX for Mishandling Sexual Assault

HeadlineDec 31, 2014

The Obama administration has found Harvard Law School, President Obama’s alma mater, violated the federal statute Title IX by mishandling cases of sexual assault. The U.S. Department of Education announced Harvard Law School had agreed to reform its policies and procedures following a four-year probe, which marked one of the department’s longest-running investigations over sexual violence. In one case highlighted by the government, Harvard took over a year to make a final decision after a student issued a complaint, ultimately barring the alleged victim from participating in an appeal and then dismissing the case. Meanwhile, Harvard College remains under federal investigation for its response to sexual assault, as do scores of other colleges across the country.
