U.S. Names 55 Schools Under Investigation for Handling of Sexual Assault 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration has released a list of 55 colleges and
universities that are under investigation for possible violations of the
federal Title IX law because of their handling of sexual assault
complaints. The full list, never before made public, includes private
schools, like Swarthmore and University of Chicago, public universities
like Penn State and Florida State, and Ivy League schools like
Dartmouth, Harvard and Princeton. On Thursday, students rallied at Tufts
University to protest Tufts' decision to back out of a government
agreement to improve its policies after the government told the school
its current policies violate Title IX. Click here to watch our
interviews with a former Tufts student and a Brown University student
who reported rape at their schools.
