Nebraska Sued for Allegedly Mishandling Sexual Misconduct Complaints, More

Nine women, including former University of Nebraska volleyball player Capri Davis, filed a lawsuit against the school in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska on Monday saying it mishandled complaints of sexual assault and harassment.

Paula Lavigne of ESPN reported the news, noting the lawsuit alleged violations of the Title IX gender equity law and racial discrimination.

What's more, the lawsuit said Nebraska "handled sexual misconduct complaints against student-athletes in a different manner than how other complaints were handled."

Davis, who was also part of a larger lawsuit filed against the NCAA in April, took a medical leave of absence and eventually transferred to play for the Texas Longhorns.
