AT THE TOWN HALL CAMPUS

COURTYARD.

>> A LOCAL UNIVERSITY SAYS IT

TAKES MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS

SERIOUSLY. SHOW UNIVERSITY IS

AWARE OF THE VIDEO MAKING ITS

WAY ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA.

BASKETBALL PLAYERS SHARING HER

EXPERIENCES ON THE TEAM

ACCUSING A MAN AFFILIATED WITH

THE TEAM OF AND MENTAL

HARASSMENT. YOU KNOW, SEAN

GALLAGHER WHO JOINS US LIVE

FROM CAMPUS. SO SHOWING WHAT

HAPPENS NEXT IN THIS CASE,

>> THAT GERALD, THE WOMEN

INVOLVED, THEY'RE HOPING FOR A

TITLE 9 INVESTIGATION TO THE

POINT THAT ONE OF THE WOMEN

BROUGHT HER CONCERNS TO THE

CI DOUBLE-A, HOPING THAT THE

CONFERENCE WILL STEP IN AND

DO SOMETHING AFTER THEY SAY

THEY FACE HARASSMENT

DISCRIMINATION AND OTHER

THREATS. WHILE A PART OF

CHARLES BASKETBALL PROGRAM.

>> BECAUSE OF QE ARE SHEPARD

SOCIAL MEDIA POST SHOW

UNIVERSITIES UNDER THE

MICROSCOPE. NEARLY A DOZEN

PLAYERS NOW CLAIMING HARASSMENT

BY A MAN AFFILIATED WITH THE

TEAM. BOTH SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE

UNCOMFORTABLE JUST WITH THIS

ONE TENSION AND FOR REALLY

ABUSIVE TO WOMEN WORKING FOR

THE TEAM IN MANY SO SMILE.

MY GRAY START TO GO DOWN

BECAUSE ADDICTS UNIVERSITY IS

NOT NAMED ANYONE SPECIFICALLY

CONNECTED TO THESE ALLEGATIONS.

SO WE'RE NOT IDENTIFYING ANYONE

ACCUSED SINCE IT'S SO EARLY

IN THE INVESTIGATION.

>> BUT SHEPARD WENT TO THE CI

DOUBLE WAY TO LOOK INTO THE

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PROGRAM WITH

HOPES OF THE TITLE 9

INVESTIGATION 9 IS WHAT

WE CALL.

>> THE REQUIREMENTS ON HOW

SCHOOLS HAVE TO HANDLE ASSAULT.

AMELIA BEST KINDT HAS HANDLED

NUMEROUS TITLE 9 CASES. AND

ACCORDING TO SHAW'S PROCEDURES

WITH TITLE 9, AN ALLEGATION CAN

BE BROUGHT TO A HEARING WHERE

BOTH SIDES LAY OUT THEIR

EVIDENCE AND A 4 PERSON,

MISCONDUCT. GRIEVANCE PANEL

WILL REVIEW THE FINDINGS, BUT

THIS ISN'T LIKE A CRIMINAL

COURT MAJORITY RULES HERE.

IT'S JUST PREPONDERANCE.

SO LIKE 50%.

>> AND A FEATHER. IF YOU ARE

50% OF FEATHER CONVINCED THAT

HAPPENED AND THAT'S IT. AND

THEN THE PERSON IS FOUND

RESPONSIBLE

>> AND LARGELY WON A TITLE 9

INVESTIGATION STARTS. DETAILS

ARE KEPT VERY PRIVATE. THERE

ARE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS

FOR THE UNIVERSITY'S FOR

EVERYONE INVOLVED. NOW THE

ATTORNEY I SPOKE WITH SAYS THIS

LIKELY WILL TAKE A VERY LONG

TIME ANYWHERE FROM 6 MONTHS
