Courts allow former rower to sue KU in sexual assault Title IX claim

A federal district court will allow a former University of Kansas rower to sue the school on claims it was deliberately indifferent and retaliated against her after she reported a football player sexually assaulted her at a campus dorm.

The court, however, ruled against the rower — referred to in the court document as Jane Doe 7 — on a claim that the university provided a hostile environment at Jayhawker Towers, where she says she was assault in August 2015.

Jane Doe 7 later identified herself as Sarah McClure and filed her suit against KU in April 2016.
