LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Federal investigators are looking into how officials at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln handled a student's report in May that she'd been raped by a faculty member.
The university was notified Monday about the U.S. Department of Education's Title IX investigation. In 2011 the department warned schools of their legal responsibilities, including the need for immediate investigations that don't rely on criminal cases to move forward. Lincoln police spokeswoman Katie Flood said Tuesday that the case is still being investigated. No names have been released.
University officials deny any wrongdoing, saying they began an investigation two days after learning about the student's report of an incident at an off-campus apartment. Officials also say the faculty member is no longer employed by the university.
