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.
