LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas’ athletic department required female rowers to attend games and encouraged them to socialize with football recruits, according to an amended lawsuit by a former rower who says she was raped by a football player.
The allegations were made in an amended lawsuit filed Tuesday by Dan Curry, an attorney for Daisy Tackett, a former rower who no longer goes to Kansas.
Tackett says she was raped in Jayhawker Towers in fall 2014 and that the university did not follow Title IX, a federal law which prohibits gender-based discrimination in education and requires universities to try and prevent sexual harassment and sexual violence.
