Four women who say they were sexually assaulted while students at the University of Connecticut added a federal lawsuit late last week to an earlier civil rights complaint filed against the school.
The women are among seven students and recent graduates who last month asked the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights to conduct a federal Title IX investigation of UConn. In both complaints, the women allege the school failed to protect them and responded to their sexual assault complaints with deliberate indifference or worse.
