Plaintiffs in Baylor Title IX Lawsuit Can't Seek Punitive Damages

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman allows plaintiffs in the four-year-old case to continue to seek claims against Baylor for actual and compensatory damages and other costs, based on their allegations that Baylor acted with deliberate indifference when they sought help after being sexually assaulted by fellow students. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/te...Baylor-Title-IX-lawsuit-punitive-15175318.php
