KU files second motion to dismiss lawsuit by former rower who says she was raped

The University of Kansas, in a motion filed Friday, is calling for a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit in which a former KU rower says that she was raped in campus housing by a former football player and that the university failed to protect her.

Friday’s court document is the second motion to dismiss that KU has filed in this case.

KU said in its motion Friday that once Daisy Tackett, the former rower, reported to the university she was raped, it investigated the matter, provided an escort on campus and issued a no-contact order to the man accused.
