East Lansing — Michigan State University said the woman accusing three former basketball players of a 2015 sexual assault was treated appropriately by the school’s Counseling Center, and the school said it has found no evidence that she was discouraged from making a Title IX complaint or a complaint to police.
The accusations were made Monday in a federal lawsuit, accusing MSU of discouraging the woman from reporting the alleged rape to police and failing to tell her of the option to report it to university officials.
The school issued a detailed statement Wednesday about the claims, saying the woman “never revealed the names of her alleged assailants nor, until she filed her lawsuit, did she publicly assert that an assault had occurred.
