Both Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, and Amherst College, in Massachusetts, were slapped with federal complaints Friday for the alleged mishandling of rape and harassment cases.

Two former Amherst students who were the victims of rape filed a complaint accusing the school of inappropriately handling their cases, including sending one to a psychiatric ward.
