A federal jury on Tuesday found Baylor University negligent in a Title IX lawsuit and awarded $270,000 to a former student who alleged she was physically abused by a football player in 2014 during a period of wide-ranging scandal at the nation's biggest Baptist school.
Baylor helmets rest on the field after an NCAA college football game in Waco, Texas, Dec. 5, 2015. A federal jury on Tuesday, Oct.
The verdict comes a month after Baylor settled a separate, years-long federal lawsuit brought by 15 women who alleged they were sexually assaulted at the school. That was the largest case related to a scandal that ultimately led to the ouster of the university’s president and football coach Art Briles.
Lozano had also named Briles and former athletic director Ian McCaw as defendants in the lawsuit. Both testified during the trial, but U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman last week dismissed them from the case, ruling no reasonable jury could find them negligent. “We are obviously disappointed in the decision in this case, as we continue to contend that Baylor coaches and employees in Athletics and across the campus reported and handled these incidents in the correct, legally and clinically prescribed manner,” the statement read.
