US University To Pay USD1.6M To Students Assaulted By Employee

San Jose (AP) San Jose State University has agreed to pay USD1.6 million to 13 female student-athletes whose complaints about being sexually assaulted by an athletic trainer were mishandled by the university, federal prosecutors have said. The payment is part of a settlement between the university, the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California, which conducted a Title IX investigation that found the university failed to adequately respond to reports of sexual harassment and assault that started in 2009, exposing additional student-athletes to harm for over a decade..
