This is correct. This university does whatever it can to sabotage its sports programs. Always have, always will. This kind of thing happens at every university. Yet, here we punish everyone because our U is so much more prestigeous than everywhere else.
Highlighting and correcting ignorance and bias in GopherHole is a never ending responsibility. Posters old and new show up every day to display how little they know about almost everything. Everyone should take note of the fact Stanford has been sued in federal court for their handling of at least one Title IX sexual assault case. To date the U has NEVER been sued in federal court for ANY Title IX case and it isn't because Minnesota doesn't have any lawyers willing to sue anyone for just about anything. The U hasn't been sued because Minnesota lawyers don't want to get their asses handed to them by a federal judge because they weren't able to make a case the U violated the due process rights of students involved in Title IX sexual assault cases.
Stanford Has Most Sexual Violence Cases Under Review, U.S. Agency Says
When the U.S. government released its tally of sexual violence cases on college campuses under review in 2014, Stanford wasn't on the list. But in the new list that's out this month, Stanford has the most cases, with five.
The notorious assault that's been making headlines is not among the cases under federal review.
That crime, committed by former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, generated outrage when a judge sentenced Turner to six months in the county jail after he was convicted of three felony counts related to his sexual assault of an unconscious woman on campus in January 2015.
Turner's sentence has sparked a renewed debate over the role of race and privilege in sentencing; it has also led some to urge a recall of Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, whose explanation for the decision to spare Turner from a potential three to 14 years in prison included concern that prison might "have a severe impact on him."
The Turner case was handled by the criminal justice system, not by Stanford. But the number of complaints to the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which enforces the Title IX gender equity law, shows that the prestigious university is facing criticism about how it handles such cases — criticism that has included both a protest and a federal lawsuit.
Here's the list of investigations into incidents at Stanford, from the Office of Civil Rights. We'll note that the dates refer to the timing of an OCR complaint, not to the initial allegations of an attack:
Case 1: 2/26/2015
Case 2: 5/28/2015
Case 3: 7/23/2015
Case 4: 7/23/2015
Case 5: 4/18/2016
To put the number of cases in context: The federal list includes 243 sexual violence cases at 192 post-secondary institutions, as of June 1. Apart from Stanford, two other schools had four cases: Kansas State University and Saint Mary's College of Maryland. Six other schools had three cases.
