LSU has been informed that another federal investigation into campus crime management is being launched.
A university official said school leaders have been notified the Office of Civil Rights in the nation’s education department plans to probe Title IX compliance in incidents dating back to 2018. A spokesman with the US Department of Education said there was extensive media coverage of the university’s potential mishandling of complaints of sexual assault, including allegations that university officials ignored sexual assault allegations made against former athletes. The investigation will examine the university’s handling of student complaints of sexual assault and harassment from the 2018-2019 academic year to present.
