Students at an area college are fighting to make changes to their school’s Title IX program.
This comes after they say cases of sexual assault have been mishandled by St. Norbert’s administration for years.
The U.S. Department of Education defines Title IX as the statute that protects individuals from discrimination based on sex in education programs.
In April, 217 current St. Norbert students signed a letter to the school’s president that said they want sexual assault on campus to actively be addressed.
Alumni shared their stories of assault on St. Norbert’s campus with Local 5.
According to the alleged victims, the common denominator: their cases were mishandled or ignored.
Including Jordyn Gaurkee, a student at UWGB.
She joined St. Norbert’s ROTC program and was raped by someone who was not only a cadet, but a campus safety officer.
When word eventually got to the school’s Title IX office Jordyn was interviewed multiple times.
The second interview was not what she expected.
