School Sexual Assault Reporting

Full Conversation

someone in my school reported multiple occasions of sexual assault to the faculty, namely a dean, and the school did nothing about it. is this legal?
I'm sorry to hear about this situation. The response may vary by location. Could you please share the country and state where the school is located?

I'm sorry to hear about that situation. In Minnesota:
- Schools are required by Title IX to respond to sexual assault reports.
- The Minnesota Human Rights Act also protects students from sexual assault.
- If ignored, legal action can be taken against the school.
Consult a local attorney for further advice.
could you provide me the source for that?
Here are the sources for the details I provided:
- Title IX: U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/index.html
- Minnesota Human Rights Act: Minnesota Department of Human Rights: www.dhr.state.mn.us
Please review these resources for more information.
if i were to take action, what should i do?
If you wish to take action, consider these steps:
*. Document all instances and responses
*. Seek advice from a legal professional
*. If suggested, file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and/or the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
