Judge: Federal lawsuit against Baylor University can proceed

A federal judge ruled that a lawsuit filed against Baylor University by 10 women saying they were sexually assaulted while students can move forward.

The women are identified as ''Jane Doe'' plaintiffs in court records, accuse the university of ignoring claims of sexual assault and not enforcing federal discrimination laws.

Baylor wants the lawsuit thrown out, claiming the allegations were insufficient to state liability claims, but U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman rejected those arguments.

But Pitman did thrown out four of the women's lawsuits, saying the statute of limitations had run out for them to file lawsuits.
