Michigan State University released a statement Tuesday night in response to the Title IX lawsuit, filed by a current MSU student, who alleged that she was raped by three former basketball players in 2015.
The lawsuit states that the student was placed in a “hostile educational environment,” and that she was discouraged by campus counselors from reporting the incident to police and authorities.
The university has taken a hard stance against both the allegations and how the school has been depicted in the media as a result.
“The media has taken these allegations about MSU’s response to her assault as established fact,” the statement reads.
