Seven women filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Louisiana State University, its leadership, athletic fundraising arm and several top administrators on Monday, alleging they conspired to cover up the women’s reports of sexual misconduct and dating violence, discriminated against female students and deprived them of their rights.
The women include three former LSU tennis players, two former football recruiting office student workers, a former student and a current student.
Together, they accused the school of prioritizing its reputation and football program above their safety and welfare and for creating a “culture of silence” where student victims were discouraged from and retaliated against for reporting Title IX offenses, according to a copy of the 124-page lawsuit obtained by USA TODAY. They are seeking damages in excess of $5 million, plus court costs.

From the protests that erupted in Baton Rouge after the death of George Floyd, to the sit-in protests against the Universityâs mishandling of sexual assault allegations, students have put constant pressure on local leaders and administrators throughout the 2020-21 school year.
