With the start of each legislative session, lawmakers typically look to pass new laws in response to troubling events from the prior year.
The session now underway is no exception. One of the biggest legal stories of 2013 involved current and former female students at the University of Connecticut who filed a lawsuit claiming they were sexually assaulted on campus. The lawsuit in U.S. district court claims the school did not appropriately respond to the assaults. The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation.
