LSU Settles Lawsuit Over Mishandling of Sexual Assault Complaints

The agreement concludes a three-year legal battle, with major figures previously implicated and reforms initiated in response to the allegations.

LSU has settled a lawsuit with 10 women alleging mishandling of sexual assault and domestic violence complaints, particularly involving athletes.
The settlement comes three years after the class-action lawsuit was filed, with details yet to be disclosed.
Former LSU officials, including ex-football coach Les Miles and ex-president F. King Alexander, faced repercussions in subsequent positions due to the allegations.
An independent investigation by Husch Blackwell confirmed a 'serious institutional failure' at LSU in handling these complaints.
The U.S. Department of Education dropped its Title IX investigation into LSU in June 2023, citing the lawsuit's progress as sufficient.
