Baylor ordered to release "original" sexual assault reports since 2003
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman delivered a substantial ruling late Wednesday within a Title IX lawsuit filed against Baylor University, ordering the school to produce “original documents — not summaries” of sexual violence and harassment reports from all Baylor students since 2003.
The ruling comes in the lawsuit brought by 10 unnamed “Jane Doe” alleged sexual assault victims who claim that a wide range of university officials did not respond to their reports between 2004 and 2016.
Baylor previously offered to release general information behind every alleged sexual assault reported to the university since 2003, but Pitman said that offer “would almost completely undercut the documents’ value.” He then ordered Baylor to produce the original documents of the reports, adding that “it would be fundamentally unfair to allow Baylor” to release the information as the school proposed.
“The judge is again exhibiting that he’s very thoughtful and deliberate in his decisions,” said Waco attorney Jim Dunnam, who represents the plaintiffs. “We’re glad that we get to move forward now, hopefully getting meaningful information.”
