An independent legal firm commissioned to review WSU's student conduct cases finds no evidence of racial bias, but shows how the perception of bias could have occurred
After a three-month investigation, an independent law firm commissioned by Washington State University to investigate accusations of ethnic bias in the student conduct process found no evidence that any racial-based discrimination had occurred.
WSU appointed Idaho-based law firm Lyons O’Dowd last fall to conduct an investigation into its conduct processes after the arrests of four Samoan football players in three incidents over the summer ignited questions about whether WSU’s student conduct process is biased against students of color.
