U.S. Department of Education Releases List of Higher Education Institutions with Open Title IX Sexual Violence Investigations
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released today a list of the higher education institutions under investigation for possible violations of federal law over the handling of sexual violence and harassment complaints.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in all education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. In the past, Department officials confirmed individual Title IX investigations at institutions, but today’s list is the first comprehensive look at which campuses are under review by OCR for possible violations of the law’s requirements around sexual violence.
“We are making this list available in an effort to bring more transparency to our enforcement work and to foster better public awareness of civil rights,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine E. Lhamon said. “We hope this increased transparency will spur community dialogue about this important issue. I also want to make it clear that a college or university’s appearance on this list and being the subject of a Title IX investigation in no way indicates at this stage that the college or university is violating or has violated the law.”
As with all OCR investigations, the primary goal of a Title IX investigation is to ensure that the campus is in compliance with federal law, which demands that students are not denied the ability to participate fully in educational and other opportunities due to sex.
The Department will not disclose any case-specific facts or details about the institutions under investigation, aside from when the investigation began. The list includes investigations opened because of complaints received by OCR and those initiated by OCR as compliance reviews. When an investigation concludes, the Department will disclose, upon request, whether OCR has entered into a resolution agreement to address compliance concerns at a particular campus or found insufficient evidence of a Title IX violation there.
The list of institutions under investigation for Title IX sexual violence issues will be updated regularly and made available to the public upon request by contacting OCR or to media by contacting the Press Office at press@ed.gov.

Chico State was caught hiding reports of rape and sexual assault back in the ’80s. If the student reported it to the Chico PD they took action, however if they went to Campus Police, it was often suppressed or ignored.
Jim why do you think the schools did this? I have my own thoughts of course, but want to hear from you. A similar situation existed at UOP, a white female was raped by more than one basketball players there on a scholarship and it was a case of blame the victim and sweep it under the carpet.
From what I’ve heard from a very reliable source who was working at Chico PD at the time. Chico State President would call the Chico police chief and ask him to drop various investigations regarding rape charges against students. Fortunately we had a chief who woulden’t do that.
To me the reason seems obvious, to make Chico State appear to be a safer school than it actually was. Fewer rape charges and convictions, make the statistics look better.
