Berkeley spokeswoman Janet Gilmore said the university would not tolerate sexual assault and would fully cooperate with the federal investigation. “Sexual assault on college campuses is a critical issue…. Much has been done to strengthen the campus’ handling of these issues, but we understand that there is always room for improvement,” she said in an email.
The university is currently working on 42 Title IX cases, including 11 involving such issues as unwanted date requests and unwelcome hugs and nine involving sexual violence.
More than a dozen students filed complaints against USC last year, charging “gross mishandling” of sexual assault and rape cases. Previously, Occidental College was targeted with complaints.
