LSU mishandled sexual misconduct complaints against students, including top athletes

For more than a year, people at the highest levels of the Louisiana State University athletic department fielded complaints about their prized running back, Derrius Guice.

Early in the spring 2016 semester, a member of the LSU diving team told her coach and an athletic department administrator that Guice raped her friend after she’d passed out drunk at a party.

That summer, a female student told two senior athletics administrators that Guice took a partially nude photograph of her without her permission, and then shared it with a team equipment manager and possibly others.

Then, in April 2017, the athletic department received reports of a second rape allegation against Guice, this time by a women’s tennis player.

Federal laws and LSU’s own policies require university officials to take such allegations seriously and report them to the Title IX office for investigation, as well as to campus police if the incidents occurred on school property.

Yet at each step of the way, LSU officials either doubted the women’s stories, didn’t investigate, or didn’t call the police, allowing Guice to continue his football career.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

― George Orwell, Animal Farm

In every society there are those who are held to higher...or lower...standards than the general population. Only before God Himself are we truly "equals."

Do you suppose that by the year 2025 the NCAA will have made any decision about Baylor's misdeeds? If not by then, when?

There are a handful of programs around the country at which this type of behavior will not shock me. LSU is one of them.

Why do these girls not go to the actual police? Why do they report things to school administrations? Last time I checked rape is against the law and police have to investigate it... screw campus PD and School Administrators, just go directly to the police.

That's a great question, but these poor girls typically aren't versed in how the law or justice system works and put their trust in their college counselors and administrators, which at Baylor (and likely LSU) means that the perpetrators' actions are buried and the victims' needs are not addressed. Overall, justice is not served.

Baton Rouge and Waco are still stuck in the 1930s or before. Stinky, backwater, redneck and full of squalor.

do you honestly believe this would have been handled differently had she gone to the baton rouge police?
