The Husch Blackwell Title IX report is a daunting document. It’s 262 pages, though only 150 pages of that is the nine-part factual and legal analysis. Attached to the end are fourteen different exhibits. It’s a comprehensive documentation of multiple failures at nearly every level at LSU.
While this is exactly the sort of public accounting LSU needs, it makes the whole thing a difficult read. The more popular part is a review of the USA Today case files, but the report is about more than that: it’s about boring things like the failure of policies and procedures lead to more fundamental breakdowns.
