Notre Dame, however, opened a Title IX investigation, and Jane Doe later challenged its handling of the matter in <a href=\"https:\/\/public.fastcase.com\/Wl%2B2t%2BeVuI35%2FN70vAMFZgXjLphTIU9AxJ%2FQvtN1U9PC5%2BDk9jlZ5Si%2BzUQAt3U1l0QfulLMQbdPTJUzwQiZAw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Doe v. Univ. of Notre Dame Du Lac<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Doe was an undergraduate student at Holy Cross College (across the street from Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana), and was a participant in the Gateway Program, designed to transition her to enrollment at Notre Dame. Her complaint alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a Notre Dame football player in his dorm room. Although Jane Doe wanted to handle the assault \u201cin privacy,\u201d Notre Dame learned of the alleged assault from another student. At that time, there was a report of an assault on a second woman by the same football player. The Court held that, \u201cit was certainly not unreasonable for Notre Dame to initiate an investigation into claims that the football player had assaulted two female students. To the contrary, it would have been unreasonable <em>(and potentially actionable under Title IX)<\/em> for Notre Dame to fail to open investigations into the \u2018known circumstances\u2019 of the two reported incidents\u201d (<em>emphasis added<\/em>). Put simply, \u201cTitle IX does not support liability for a university\u2019s undertaking its investigation obligation simply because the alleged victim does not want an official investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This case was even more unusual due to the seemingly contradictory nature of Jane Doe\u2019s complaints. She complained that Notre Dame opened the investigation against her wishes, but also that Notre Dame later closed the investigation. She alleged that Notre Dame \u201cviolat[ed] her privacy rights\u201d by opening the investigation in the first instance, and then \u201corchestrat[ed] the closing of the Title IX investigation so that the student athlete who attacked her, a football player, could transfer to another university with a clean record.\u201d But she also identified \u201cfacing her attacker on campus\u201d as her \u201cparamount concern,\u201d and she, at the time, agreed to the closing of the investigation. The Court noted that while Jane Doe was now dissatisfied with an outcome that she saw as favorable to her alleged attacker, \u201cby her own account, this outcome (a) ameliorated her \u2018paramount concern,\u2019 namely encountering the attacker on campus, and (b) resulted from her agreement [to close the investigation].\u201d Under such circumstances, there could be no plausible claim of \u201cdeliberate indifference\u201d or \u201cclearly unreasonable\u201d conduct.<\/p>\n<p><em>Client Tip: The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has previously provided guidance on a school\u2019s obligations when an alleged victim requests that there be no investigation or disciplinary action. OCR has stated that the school \u201cwill need to determine whether or not it can honor such a request while still providing a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students.\u201d One of the factors to be considered, according to OCR, is whether there are multiple complaints against the same alleged perpetrator. In this case, there were reports of two sexual assaults on fellow students by the same alleged perpetrator, and Notre Dame took action to investigate the matter. That was, in the Court\u2019s judgment, \u201ca plainly reasonable response to a possible danger on campus.\u201d The Court\u2019s decision in this case thus seemingly affirms OCR\u2019s guidance on this topic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Northern District of Indiana, the University of Notre Dame successfully obtained a dismissal of the Plaintiff&rsquo;s Title IX claim in a case with an unusual circumstance: the alleged victim wanted the school to stand down and take no action.
