A former Utah State University student who was raped at a campus fraternity house has agreed to a $250,000 settlement that will also require the school to increase its oversight of its Greek system.
The agreement announced Thursday wraps up one of several high-profile sexual assault and harassment cases at the northern Utah school, which has been criticized for how it has handled allegations.
Victoria Hewlett filed suit against the university after she was raped in July 2015 by then-Sigma Chi fraternity member Jason Relopez. The lawsuit claimed that five other women had reported to the school that Relopez sexually assaulted them before Hewlett’s attack and before administrators did much to act on that knowledge.
