A group of LSU students held a sit-in protest outside of the Universityâs football facility in response to the suspension of two LSU officials who mishandled sexual assault allegations, not allowing athletes or LSU faculty to leave the premises. Protestors were prompted to converge at the Alex Box parking lot before rallying upon the LSU Football Operations Center 11 a.m. Monday and stayed until shortly after 2 p.m. There were around 50 students attending the sit-in, blocking all entrances and exits from the parking lot outside of the LSU Football Operations Center. The University hired law firm Husch Blackwell to investigate the Universityâs existing Title IX practices after a November USA Today report revealed that Deputy Athletic Director Verge Ausberry was aware that former LSU football player Drake Davis assaulted LSU womenâs tennis player Jade Lewis. After the report was released Friday, the University announced that two LSU officials, Ausberry and Senior Associate Athletic Director Miriam Segar, would be placed on unpaid suspension and would undergo sexual assault training.
