Department of Education confirms three investigations pending against MSU
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights confirmed Wednesday there now are three investigations pending against the university regarding Title IX sexual assault cases. OCR spokesman Jim Bradshaw also revealed the third complaint involves an allegation that “A student was subjected to retaliatory harassment by another student and that MSU did not take appropriate action in response once the university was notified, allowing a hostile environment to continue.” The revelation suggests the OCR could be expanding its inquiry - perhaps based on information obtained in interviews conducted on campus earlier this month - although officials are not discussing details because the investigation is still open.
