Feds Reach Deal With Wittenberg University Over Handling Of Sexual Assaults

wittenberg.edu

The U.S. Department of Education says Wittenberg University in Springfield violated federal law in handling sexual assault complaints, but the school has agreed to make changes. Complaints filed in 2011 and 2013 alleged the school failed to promptly and equitably respond to sexually assault reports. Each involved male athletes assaulting females. The school disagrees with the findings but will make some technical policy changes. The agreement also includes reviewing whether some old complaints were properly handled.
