Lawsuit Alleges Arizona Football Players Gang-Raped Female Students, Staff

An amendment to a lawsuit filed against the University of Arizona reportedly says the school "promoted the success of the football program at the expense of the safety of female students on campus."

According to the Tucson Star's Caitlin Schmidt, the amendment alleges players on Arizona's football team gang-raped female students and staff and that the school did not take the necessary steps to intervene.

"Although UA received reports of this sexual harassment and violence, little, if anything, was done to stop it and/or take prompt action to redress the harassment, particularly if corrective action might have negatively impacted the potential success of the football program," the lawsuit reads, per Schmidt.
