Woman says Drury didn't protect her after sexual assault

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A former student alleges in a lawsuit that Drury University didn't protect her after she was sexually assaulted in a university dorm room.

The woman also claims an official in the school's Title IX office advised her not to file a police report after the alleged sexual assault in February 2017. She says the same male student physically assaulted her the day after the first assault.

The Springfield News-Leader reports a university investigation concluded the male student violated the university's Title IX sexual misconduct policy. But he was allowed to remain on campus and for a time lived in the same dorm as the female student. She says she left Drury after repeatedly seeing her alleged attacker.
