Scott Schneider on #LSU’s Title IX reporting process: “One survivor described it as it was designed to put victims in position to give up because they were worn down by the process.”
Schneider: "The errors that we see in athletic cases, we see them popping up in non-athletic cases as well. The answer to 'Are athletes being treated differently in this process?' The answer is no."
So, this is a sweeping issue across the #LSU campus, per the report.

Schneider says #LSU AD Scott Woodward has made "modest improvements" within the athletic department. "At least people now know who (the Title IX coordinator) is."
#LSU president Tom Galligan, listing improvements that the school is making, says the university is adding a new office to campus, Civil Rights and Title IX Office, and hiring more personnel for handling Title IX cases.
