55 COLLLEGES IN USA, WITH SEXUAL VIOLENCE CASES


WASHINGTON, USA - As part of its campaign to reduce sexual violence on college campuses, the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) published a first-of-its kind list Thursday of all higher education institutions currently under investigation for possibly violating civil rights law in how they’ve handled complaints of sexual violence and harassment. 
The schools range from small liberal arts colleges and Ivy League institutions to large state universities. The full list is included below. Investigations are triggered either by complaints brought by individuals or by OCR’s own compliance reviews.  
The public can request regularly updated lists from OCR. Previously, OCR would only confirm whether an investigation was under way if asked.
The publication of the list follows the release earlier this week of the first report of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, as well as a new document from OCR clarifying schools’ Title IX obligations related to sexual violence.
