I don't understand anything going on in the article
I just want to knOw if FSU should prepare their ****
The controversial letter, known colloquially as the "Dear Colleague" letter, states that it is the responsibility of institutions of higher education "to take immediate and effective steps to end sexual harassment and sexual violence." The letter illustrates multiple examples of Title IX requirements as they relate to sexual violence, and makes clear that, should an institution fail to fulfill its responsibilities under Title IX, the Department of Education can impose a fine and potentially deny further institutional access to federal funds.The University failed it's title 9 obligations. That puts it's ability to get FEDERAL money at risk. The University is guilty even if Winston is innocent. As a tax paying citizen, I hope they burn for this. Federal legislation put in place to protect citizens is not a joke. Florida STATE University was grossly incompetent and will ultimately be held accountable.
How is this a university issue?
. After consulting a friend, she reported the incident to university police, who in turn notified Tallahassee police because the incident occurred off-campus.
What are a school’s obligations under Title IX regarding sexual violence?
Once a school knows or reasonably should know of possible sexual violence, it must take immediate and appropriate action to investigate or otherwise determine what occurred.
If sexual violence has occurred, a school must take prompt and effective steps to end the sexual violence, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects, whether or not the sexual violence is the subject of a criminal investigation.
A school must take steps to protect the complainant as necessary, including interim steps taken prior to the final outcome of the investigation.
A school must provide a grievance procedure for students to file complaints of *** discrimination, including complaints of sexual violence. These procedures must include an equal opportunity for both parties to present witnesses and other evidence and the same appeal rights.
A school’s grievance procedures must use the preponderance of the evidence standard to resolve complaints of *** discrimination.
A school must notify both parties of the outcome of the complaint.
THEY DID NONE OF THE FEDERALLY MANDATED ABOVE. NONE OF IT! The Federal Government doesn't give a **** about Florida STATE University football. They do care about gross incompetence and law braking.
The University waited over a year to address the issue and only did so after TMZ reported it. They covered it up to protect a football player. FAIL
The article said the girl told university police who in turn told Tallahassee PD because the incident happened off campus. I'm still not sure how this is a university issue so long as they didn't take their time in notifying Tallahassee PD.

A complete investigation by the university must be conducted independently of whatever police investigation.as it involves students of that university.
FSU shouldn't have washed their hands just by the simple act of notifying TPD. The girl has a very strong case. Hence, why the top attorney in these type of lawsuits took on the case.
Hopefully they get what they deserve

For some reason, many people here think that once the university reported the incident to the police then their responsibility ends right there. Wrong.
