The U.S. Department of Education released Thursday the names of all 55 colleges facing Title IX sexual assault investigations.
The list marks the first time the Department of Education has released a comprehensive list of schools under Title IX review. The publication of the list also comes just two days after a White House task force on campus sexual assault said that it would endeavor to create greater transparency in the government’s Title IX investigative process.
“We hope this increased transparency will spur community dialogue about this important issue,” Department of Education Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine E. Lhamon said in a statement on the department’s website. “I also want to make it clear that a college or university’s appearance on this list and being the subject of a Title IX investigation in no way indicates at this stage that the college or university is violating or has violated the law.”
Title IX prohibits gender discrimination at schools that receive federal funds. Students at dozens of colleges have filed Title IX complaints against their schools for mishandling sexual assault complaints on campus.
The Department of Education said it will not release any additional information about individual investigations other than when they began. The department added that it will disclose upon request as to whether each school did indeed violate Title IX and whether the school came to a resolution agreement with the government when each individual investigation is complete.
These are the schools currently under investigation. The list will be updated as new investigations arise and old ones are closed.
