Thirteen former Spartans female athletes may be called to testify that Scott Shaw violated their bodily autonomy during physical therapy treatments.

Police and university officials closed their cases without questioning the football player. With the woman dead, they decided not to pursue it.

As case against Scott Shaw goes to trial, more San Jose State athletes step forward. A California judge ruled that they can testify.

Tens of thousands of sexual misconduct reports filed across dozens of colleges led to just 1,094 students suspended and 594 expelled over seven years.

Meant as a safety net for faculty who relinquish tenure for administrative jobs, retreat rights are sometimes used as a Get Out of Jail Free card.

Fresno State beefed up Title IX staffing in the wake of USA TODAY’s reporting, announcing three new hires just days before this story published.

The announcement comes two weeks after a USA TODAY investigation revealed he mishandled sexual harassment complaints against a senior administrator.
