A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently dismissed a Title IX lawsuit against Michigan State University (MSU) over its handling of sexual assault claims, a decision that could clarify the schools’ responsibilities following incidents of sexual misconduct on campus.
The lawsuit was filed in 2015 by four former MSU students who argued that the university was slow to investigate their sexual harassment and assault complaints and did not prevent their alleged perpetrators from returning to campus.
